Ancestor # 102
Judocus Teirlinck (1725-1801)
and
Ancestor # 103
Judoca De Kuyper (1726-1781)

Judocus Teirlinck was born in Kaprijke, Oost Vlaanderen, Belgium on 28 April 1725[i] and died there on 24 December 1801 (3 Nivose Year 10)[ii]. He was the son of Joannes and Livina (Van Hee) Teirlinck. He married Judoca De Kuyper on 2 May 1750 in Kaprijke. Judoca De Kuyper was born 9 November 1726[iii] in Lembeke, Oost Vlaanderen, Belgium and died in Kaprijke on 30 Jun 1781[iv].

            I have predominantly used Flemish parish registers for the information for this family. In the late 19th century, the Belgian government indexed all parish registers as a means of extending civil registration back to the early 1600’s. These indexes can be found in the Family History Library Catalog under each locality as either Index op Dopen or Klapper op Dopen where “dopen” refers to baptism. Marriages are either huwelijken or trouwen and deaths begraven or overlijden.

            I found some errors in the index for Kaprijke. I was unable to locate a marriage record for Judocus and Judoca. I interpreted the index to say they married on 2 May 1750 but could not locate a Teirlinck/De Kuyper marriage on this date. Their first son was baptized on 1 July 1750 and the record states that the parents were married so they were married prior to July 1st. I scanned the parish register back to May of 1749 without luck. Also, Maria Catherine was identified as a daughter of this couple with a baptism date of 10 Nov 1762. This is the same date as is given for Petronella Teirlinck. I found a baptism for Petronella on that date but none for Maria Catherine. There is an 11-year gap between Petronella and Maria Francisca; it is likely Maria Catherine fits in here. Because of the large gap in births, it is possible that this family moved to a different town for a time.
