Other information:
     Gerardus Albertus comes on 24 Feb 1814 to the Dutch Church in London with certificate from Amsterdam.11 He lived at the time of his first marriage at Tokenhouse Yard in London.2,5 He lived at the time of his second marriage in the Parish of St Mary in Lambeth, London.3
Gerardus Albertus ten Bruggenkate was in 1821 a countinghouse operator at 7 George Yard in London. He was listed as paying out dividend in 182112 He is listed quite a few times in the London Times, for various reasons. In 1821 he accused a Mr Salt of trying to defraud him, and in Dec 1823 he absconds with more than £10.000 in checks. In 1822 the London Gazette reports that his partnership with W. By was dissolved, they were stationers. He is twice listed in "The Bankrupt Directory: Being a Complete Register of All the Bankrupts, with ..." by George Elwick (publ. in 1843 by Simpkin). First on Jan 2, 1821 as Gerardus Albertus Ten Bruggenkate of Little East Cheap, merchant, and second on Dec 6, 1823 as Gerardus Albertus Ten Bruggenkate and Thomas Henry Payne, Fenchurch buildings, merchants.13,14,15
     At the baptism of his daughter Eliza Sarah, his occupation is listed as 'ornamental artist16' gave £5 5s for disaster relief in the Netherlands.17
     Gerardus has two daughters Eliza Sarah and Emma, whose mother is Eliza. This cannot be Eliza Gardner Simmonds, as Eliza Sarah is bapt. in 1831, and Emmain 1835; and Gerardus and Eliza marry in 1844. Are Eliza Sarah and Emma daughters of Eliza from a previous marriage, and did Gerardus adopt them? Or is there a 3rd marriage?
