Ancestor #105

Isabella Clara Dinnewet (1725-1760)

Isabella Clara Dinnewet, was born in Sint Laureins, Oost Vlaanderen, Belgium on 2 December 1725[i] and baptized the next day. She was the daughter of Cornelius and Francisca (Glas) Dinnewet. She married Petrus Joannes Du Four on 25 October 1749[ii] in Sint Laureins. Petrus Joannes was born 25 December 1721[iii] in Sint Laureins. Isabella died on 6 May 1760[iv] in childbirth and her daughter, Petronella, lived only 2 days and died on 8 May 1760[v] in Sint-Jan-in-Eremo, Oost Vlaanderen, Belgium.

The name Dinnewet is spelled numerous ways including Dinevet, Dunnewet, Dunevet, and Dynevet. I still have not located Isabella’s baptismal information in the baptismal index. I am sure there may be more spelling variations out there. I managed to locate her baptismal record by starting in January 1724 and looking entry by entry through the baptismal register. I had information on her age from 2 baptismal records and her burial entry. In 1755, she is listed as 28, in 1758 as 30 and in 1760 as 36. I calculated that she was born sometime between 1724 and 1728 and found her in 1725.
