Willem/Wilhelmus was born on Feb 16, 1830. He passed away in 1832 at the age of 2.[1]
Willem was the son of Elisabeth Vorenhout (abt.1802-1833) and Meindert Gramsma (abt.1802-).[2]
He was born in the house at Nr 238 in Heerenveen.
Meindert was married to another woman at the time, and did not fully acknowledge his son, but stated that Johanna Elisabeth was his house woman/huisvrouw. Meindert worked as a musician and lived in Leeuwarden.
Willem died on March 1, 1832 at a home at Meerpoortenmolen Lett S, No 125 in Groningen, Groningen, Nederland.[3]
His mother Elisabeth was 8 months pregnant at the time, one month later his brother Wilhelmus Hinderikus (Vorenhout) Gramsma (1832-1909) was born in the house of "Aan de Wal, Letter S, No 125", which appears to be the same house.
