* C : I have a copy of the certificate;   i : I've found the entry in an index (e.g. 10 jarig)

 The first objective is to find the date and place and get a copy of the birth 1 above..

The next things to find out after these are on this page 2 of the Netherlands' details


1] Birth of Maria Clementia Smalle.  When: in her marriage certificate on 18 Apr 1856 she said she was 24, which would mean she was born between 19 Apr 1831 and 18 Apr 1832, but Ben de Smit said he thought she was born 4 May 1830.    Where: agreement on IJzendijke.  In her marriage certificate she says her parents were Johannes ?Franciscus?  Smalle and Isabella de Velaire, both deceased, so the fact that they were not alive to correct her may have allowed some confusion about her exact place or date of birth perhaps. It also seems that she may not have produced her birth certificate at the marriage, but said she was born 4 May 1831.  However there is no Smalle at all (so no siblings either) in the indexes of IJzendijke geboorten 1827 to 1842, and nothing to match her in the register between April 1830 and May 1832.  If she was born before 1827 she would have been at least 30 at the marriage, and if she was born after 1842 she would be under 16, so it seems more likely that I'm not looking in the right place.  At the time of the marriage she was living in Biervliet, could try there perhaps? Smalle seems a rare name, the only others I've seen were emigrating from Aardenburg. Her death certificate also says she was born in IJzendijke, daughter of Franciscus Smalle and (looks like) Joabella de Vilaize, and if she was 77 at death she would have been born between 3rd. March 1831 and 2nd. March 1832.
