MARIA EVELINE LOUISETTE KNAAP. She indeed was mentioned in the almanacs. However, the text on her grave differs.
According the almanac the correct name was EVELINE LOUISETTE KNAAP and correct date of birth was 5th Aug 1907 and born in Batavia/Jakarta.
At her birth date on 5-8-1907 there was only one person living in Batavia called REINIER KNAAP; Born Tegal 25-2-1878 and he died Soerabaja 12 Sept 1917 and married Louise Margaretha Meijer at 11 May 1898 at Soerabaya. He is buried in one grave number B2017 Peneleh, together with: Rosette Caroline Priester-Knaap (1840-1890) and R.F.R. Knaap (1838-1891)
Rosette Caroline Knaap was a daughter of Carel Hendrik Knaap and Catharine Sophia Elias and she maried Lodewijk Reaal Priester. According the grave at Peneleh, Rosette was born 13 aug 1840. According the archives of Delft, Rosetta was born 3 aug 1841. The engraver could had made a mistake….
Additional information received 9 jan 2019 from the grandson Richie Widjaja (Huang Liqi) of Maria Eveline Louisette Knaap, who lives in Australia. My deepest gratitude to Richie for I am granted to place a copy of the death certificate of the Cityhal of Kediri and it confirms her parents’ name and date of passing away. According the certificate, it is clear that the Dutch Register Almanac differs also in the names, besides the dates:
Mother’s name: Louise Margaretha —> Louissette Margareta
Daughter’s name: Grave: Maria additional.
Date of birth: 5th Aug 1907 according almanacs. (RA1908). According certificate: Age 77 years in 1982, so date of birth is 1905 and not 1907
According the certificate Maria Eveline Louisette Knaap was married to Mr. Oei An Djien and this married couple had 8 children.(.. dan meninggalkan anak delapan orang telah dewasa…). As this number differs from the statement of grandson Richie, this could mean that one child died prior to the mother’s death.?
Additional information from grandson Richie Widjaja:
” Eveline married twice in her life: First to J.A.G Gleichman then to a Chinese man named Oei An Djien (who was buried next to Eveline at Semampir).
Picture above additional information from editor about Gleichmann:
