Research Notes

• The SAG Registers seem to confuse this Cornelis with his cousin Cornelis van der Westhuyse (1796-) and lists them both as having married Sibella Aletta Helena Dreyer (see above and below). The marriage record above clearly states the he was (J z), so it was b3c5d13e2 Cornelis who in fact married her and probably the other spouses listed against b3c5d11e1 Cornelis.
