From the Notaries' Archives:
- Notary Hondius in Wageningen, act no. 4629, 11-April-1875: sale of [Zeger's] house in Wageningen
- same, no. 4668 12-June-1875: mortgage on the house
- same, no. 5407 and 5408, 26-Apr-1878; last wills of Zeger and Janna, favoring the surviving partner or, in case the last surviving partner dies, their nephew Peter Derksen who lives at the same address (son of Peter Derksen and Maria Gabriël)
- Notary Romswinckel, Oosterbeek, 4.May.1860, no. 1597: Sale to Jan Bosveld of Zeger & Janna's house and land in Renkum, known under numbers C297 en C448, size 23 are 90 centiare [I have no idea what that would be in Imperial measures], for 500 guilders.

COMMENTS:
- Janna Wissenburg was, as you will have guessed, a daughter of Rudolf Wissenburg, my great-great-great-grandfather.
- I made copies of some but not all the sources used. I found e.g. Janna's death certificate from 1890, where she is called Johanna instead. Zeger Gabriël testified to her death but did not sign the certificate; he declared he could not write.
- I also found a notary's act (Mr Romswinckel in Oosterbeek, 6 Sept 1875), concerning the sale of a small house south of the former Gabriël site, belonging to the late Rudolf Wissenburg and now to his heirs, including Zeger (legally, Rudolf's daughters inherited but they had to be represented by their spouses or male guardians). The house sold for 370 guilders (to be divided by 7 heirs). Most of the heirs signed the act  (they were visibly not used to writing...) with the exception of a.o. Zeger
- same notary, 20-Aug-1875: inventory of the late Rudolf Wissenburg's 'estate' made up in the presence of the heirs or their legal guardians (that includes Zeger). A terribly interessting list of a terribly poor old man's house - the whole estate is worth 60.25 guilders (apart from the house), his debts amounted to 53.15 guilders.
- What I do not have, to my deep regret, is a copy of the marriage certificate of Zeger and Brandje.
- Then again, I made a note elsewhere indicating that I must at least have seen that certificate once: the note says that Brandje was born in Wageningen in 1837. There is no note indicating that she had been married before - so she probably didn't. (Birth certificate, death certificates of previous spouse/husband, even of the parents (if deceased) are always attached to the marriage certificate).
