May 4 1861

Joannes Baptiste Goessens, born ca 1790, died in Nederhasselt. He was married to Joanna Waegeman, born ca 1794. I haven't researched that family yet, except for one son : Petrus Josephus Goessens (Nederhasselt 1836 - 1928) who married Virginia Meganck (Nederhasselt 1834 - 1917).

Petrus and Virginia had seven children, three of which were born before their parents got married (see the post : "March 22 1859").

Their eldest daughter Marie Elisabeth Goessens (Brussel 1862 - Meerbeke 1934) married Josephus Timmermans (Meerbeke 1858 - 1929). They were my great-grandparents.
