September 13 1812

Karel or Charles (we were still under French domination) Timmermans was born in Meerbeke where he died almost 71 years later on February 17 1883. He married twice. His second wife was Maria Anna Van den Houte, born in Lieferinge in 1825. I haven't yet looked up her death certificate or all their children.

Josephus Timmermans (Meerbeke 1858 - 1829) was a son of that second marriage and my great-grandfather. See also "My great-grandparents".
