Boxtel,NB,NLD 1785 Handwriting

Question

If you click this link; then click page 279; then scroll to near the bottom of scanned image you will find ...

# ??= Petrus Baaijens laat vrouw en kindr naa"

Petrus died 1785-Nov; but which day? That does not look like a number! Perhaps a symbol for "ditto"?

---

I can now answer my own question ...

This scan of card index (image 2812 of 3819) indicates death was 15-Nov-1785.

Answer 1

You are right, the date of death is November 15, 1785 in Boxtel
