[Junij 1705] 11 sepel: Anna Valchaert uxor Jacobi Lambrecht. / 17 sepel: domina Joanna Brias v[idu]a D[omi]ni Petri d'Antheyn, supremo servitio. / 24 sep: Judocus de Wulf.

Translation

Burials of June 1705: on the 11th Anna Valchaert, wife of Jacobus Lambrecht; on the 17th Lady Joanna Brias, widow of Petrus d'Antheyn; on the 24th Judocus de Wulf. The clerk writes children as 'f[ilius] ... N annorum' or 'infans'; Judocus has neither, so he was an adult - not Loonis's son Judocus, then six. Very possibly Joos Dewulf himself (born 1628, he would have been 76 or 77), buried near his son at Torhout; the entry does not say.
