1729 trouw Someren

Dear Frank,

There is no mentioning of Elisabeth being a widow in the source text too. YTranscription and translation will follow later today, if needed.

Thank you René. I am very interested in what the document says.

Elisabeth was not mentioned as widow, the word lest next to the name of the groom may indicate an even earlier marriage (so this moight be his third marriage)
