Findings and analysis

The Elst marriage register records, on 18 September 1923, the marriage of Hendrik Gerrit van den Berg, merchant, aged 47, to Wilhelmina Johanna Brands.1 That age matches the Amsterdam birth record of 17 March 1876;2 the birthplace Renkum on the marriage record is noted as a point to check.

This places the second marriage with the right Hendrik.
