Aurelia Maria ten Bruggenkate (1840-1841)

Aurelia Maria was born 177 years ago on 29 Nov 1840. She was the first daughter of Jan ten Bruggencate  (dutch link) and Anna van Bolhuis, and my 4th cousin 3x removed (among other relationships). Unfortunately she was not long for this world, she died 17 May 1841, barely 6 months old. Her death must have been devastating for her parents, the loss of a child is the worst one can imagine.

Today our beloved youngest child Aure- lia Maria passed away at the young age of 24 weeks Almelo, 17 May 1841 J. ten Bruggenkate, Pharmacist M.W.H. ten Bruggenkate born van Bolhuis

 

This is the first of a new series, in which I will try to highlight a female relative born on this day
