Remarks:
1. Thea van de Laar:
Thea is her call sign,
Mathea is her Christian name;
2. Wilhelmina Driessen:
Wilhelmina Driessen, her official name is: Maria van der Sterren-Driessen. Because that was apparently too long, the pastor opted for her second baptismal name Wilhelmina and her maiden surname Driessen.
Maria's date of birth is incorrect, that must be 19-11-1891;
3. Antoon Saelmans' birth name is Antonius.
Antoon's surname is Saelemans instead of Saelmans.
