More Information:

In the marriage enclosures of both Joannes and Jannes is a extract of the baptismal record of 7 Nov 1788. There is space for an other child between the marriage of the parents in 1781 and the baptism of Gerardus in 1784. There is no baptism in Tubbergen. It is possible that it was a set of twins and the priest only registered one, but at the name adoptions in 1812 Jan is 26 yo and Jannes 23 yo, whic would then be resp. 1786 and 1789. He was a weaver (1819, 1826), daylaborer (1818.)1,4,5
