"In the death certificate of her daughter Elisabeth (1839)and also of her daughter Joanna Maria (1846)the mother's name is spelled Nottiens but in the listing of christenings for Heffen 1597 - 1800, we find Elisabeth's parents defined as Jan Baptist Van Kerckhoven and Anna Maria Nuyttens.
In the listings "Leest, klapper trouwen 1592 - 1823" however, we find the wedding of the couple on 3.5.1768 and the bride's name spelled as "Nuytkens".
Her death certificate of 1803 mentions her to be 45, which is in contradiction with all other data (christening of 8 children between 1769 and 1785, her wedding in 1768 and the date of birth (1741) found in the listing of christenings in Leest.
We assume there is only one possible explanation and that is an error in her death certificate, which is made in the very early days of civil administration and in French, which is undoubtedly a complicating factor.
Moreover, the declaration of her death was not made by members of her family but by a local police officer and the pub owner, who most probably did not read or speak French. We there fore retain 23.2.1741 as her correct date of birth.
Administrative errors are frequent. In the wedding certificate of her daughter Elisabeth in 1806, it is stated - also in French - that her mother died on 25.8.1803, where as the actual date was the 25.2.1803."
