Sailing letters,

In the British National Archives are Dutch sailing letters to be found.
The letters we mentioned before.
And were taken to England by the fishermen.
They were captured with the ships and ended up in the British archives where they were found in 1890 by Braunius.
Once a month one of these letters is published in Holland.They can be found in the KB.
And one day we hope to find a letter from our ancestors.
Hier volgt het interview uit het Leidsch Dagblad van 31-10-2009 met de Leidse maritiem historica Els van Eijck Heslinga.

Facts

So we know there must be a connection between Jan and Jerome but it is difficult to establish a relationship.For a coincidence there are to much similaritys.
What are the facts .
We know the names and birthdays and the family tree of Jan Vlieland and of his brother Jeroen.
We know what happened to Jan .And we know the start in England from Jerome.
As a Dutch mariner Jan spoke Dutch, but also English and probably also french.We know he was a captain of a fishingboat. He escaped from a French prison in Holland .Where he was convicted because he was with other Dutch fisherman involved in bringing letters and passengers from England to Holland and back.
We don´t know what happened to Jeroen.We find him giving permission for the marriage of his daughter in Delft.So he must have had a reason not to return to Noordwijk.He is found in the taxtabelof Noordwijk as `at sea `.But so far we did not find his death.
So if there is someone who can make the connection ,that would be great.
And leave a reaction on this site.

Jeroen Vlieland

During the time that our fishermen were involved with Marivault and the French.
They were captured and escaped from prison in Holland, Went to England and came back with letters or passengers.
Jeroen sailed with his ship the Topsham Post from Topsham to Rotterdam and back with mail.

In 1811 this ship is publicly sold in Rotterdam and in the advertisement it says ``Sailed lately by Jeroen Vlieland.``
We assume he is captured and ended as prisoner of war in a prison in England possibly Yarmouth.
The family later lived at friars walk in Yarmouth.
Other familymembers sailed to Malaga,France Riga and we know that is was very difficult with those small ships.several newspapers
They can be found in in Holland,the London gazette.We give you the index .so you search on all the different Vlieland captains.
Captain Vlieland arrived from ...sailed to.
Allthough his name is Jeroen it is also spelled as Yarhan at his sons wedding or in this clipping from thursday 07/01/1802 in the morning Post as Jarien

Also his ship l ésperance was sold

This is the family we are talking about.
And we can find in this family our Jan Vlieland,his brother Jeroen (Jerome in English)All can be found in the dutch newspaper as well in the London Gazette.
The whole familytree can be found here.
Jeroen Vlieland sailed on several ships including the Beatrix and look what we found.

1. Arie Aldertsz VLIELAND, gedoopt (RK) te Noordwijk op 30-07-1741.
2. Pieternelletje Aldertsdr VLIELAND, gedoopt (RK) te Noordwijk op 08-08-1743.

9. Jacob Aldertsz VLIELAND, gedoopt (RK) te Noordwijk op 15-05-1756.
And where do Jeroen and Jerome meet????? and when is Katherine coming in his life.
All his ships in the newspaper.

More about Jeroen Vlieland 
He was born in Noordwijk a small village on the coast of Holland .
His father and brothers are captains on herringships and small merchantships.
he married 
1.Ariaantje Klaasdochter Mooiekind in 1768 she died in 1795.
He sails from and probably lives in Rotterdam for a while.
They had several children who died soon after their birth .
Their daughter  Maartje Jeroensdochter Vlieland is the only surviving daughter.





When Maartje wants to get married her father  Jeroen has to give permission .
Instead of going from Rotterdam to Noordwijk he gives his permission via the notary. Maartje lives in Bruges Belgium with her Dutch captain and her children.

From Jeroen we have not found the date or place  of death.
We find him and his ships regularly in the English or Dutch newspaper.
The last one wherein he is named is the auction of his ship in 1811 last sailed by Jeroen Vlieland.

We assume he met Catherine and her children when they were all living in Rotterdam and they all went to England.
So Jeroen is the stepfather of the children of Jan Hollander and Catharine Fris.

To prove this theory we need the deathdate of Jeroen Vlieland and Jan Hollander and a marriage between Jeroen and Catharine.
So we keep looking .

Jan Hendrik Berkenkamp

Bij het overlijden van Jan Vlieland op 10 januari 1864 in Delft ,staat de volgende aantekening

Ook deze naam komen we weer tegen in het Rotterdams jaarboekje en de kranten .

We gaan weer even terug naar de barones Minckwitz
Marivault hoorde van barones Minckwitz dat ze met behulp van Boutmy zijn koffers uit Katwijk naar London had laten sturen met een schuit die zogenaamd op haringvangst ging. Door deze verklaring liet de Marivault dadelijk bij Boutmy huiszoeking doen en hem op 27 oktober in het dolhuis opsluiten.
Onder de bij Boutmy in beslag genomen papieren vond men ook een briefje van Berkenkamp
Syndic de la marine (Trustee van de marine) te Katwijk. De Marivault droeg een onderzoek naar Berkenkamp op.
Hij moest daarbij de eerbied in het oog houden die men aan een ambtenaar verschuldigd was.
Berkenkamp wist zich lange tijd afwezig te houden.
Tenslotte moest hij toch aan een verhoor geloven en nu bleek dat ook Kruijt zijn collega in Noordwijk, met Boutmy contact had.
De bewijzen tegen de beide trustees schijnen geen gevolgen te hebben gehad
De Marivault maakte de commissaire van de marine er wel op attent dat Berkenkamp adjunct van de burgemeester was en dat deze functie niet gecombineerd kan worden met die van Trustee en vroeg hem dan ook scherp op Berkenkamp te letten.
Berkenkamp kwam er met een berisping van af. Hij legde de belofte af dat hij ijver en toewijding zou tonen. Berckenkam was ook in het Katwijk, van 150 jaar geleden een respectabel heer.
De bewijzen moesten overtuigend zijn;in afwachting daarvan nam de politie hem onder bewaking. Over Boutmy schreef de Marivault aan de minister van politie dat hij opdracht had gegeven tot nader onderzoek naar meneer Boutmy.
Boutmy wist Marivault milder te stemmen door enkele brieven aan hem te overhandigen en hij werd dan ook vrijgelaten uit het dolhuis.
Marivault liet alle goederen van Haeton verbeurd verklaren .Daarbij was ook het vissersschip Emanuel met kapitein Hermanus Luijk.

Jan Vlieland also known as Jan Hollander

Today we continue our story of Jan Vlieland.
After leaving two passengers on shore who were afraid of the bad weather .
The crew tried to flee back to sea.
They did not manage to go back to sea and drifted on the Maas to Dordrecht.







The crewmembers of the Wilhelmina are captain Jan Vlieland said Hollander, Johan Letzer of  Zeeland ,and a Greek Constantino Variotti.





















Jan Vlieland ,already under surveillance since 1811 by the head of police Marivault was already once escaped to England.
Now with the ship Wilhelmina he returned.
The ship was anchored near tavern"de Gouden Leeuw" .
With help of the landlord a man named Karsbergen,our Jan managed to sell the Wilhelmina for 200 guilders to the Helmont brothers.
He already bought a new ship and he sailed with a permit from Zierikzee to Amsterdam under the name of captain Wullaart.
But he and his crew were arrested and sent back to Rotterdam.
On October 15, they were sent to the rasphouse annex prison.


The two other passengers still on the ship ,were also captured just as the landlord of de Gouden Leeuw.
They were all released after a few days except for Jan.
During the night of 29 on 30 november, Jan Vlieland managed to escape from the prison with Jan Baptista van der Voodt and Pieter Messu .


The way they escaped reads like a novel.
If it was not in the newspaper at the time you would not believe it .
The escape.
They heated the iron hinges of their beds in the fire that was in their prison and burned through a plank.
After widening the hole,they came into a loft.With the blankets,tied together they could reach a small street on the outside of the prison.

Marivault was very angry and tried everything he could to capture this three men.
Later he found out that they escaped from Beijerland to England.

more about this ship

Barones Minckwitz

Still looking for our ancestor we find this story in de London Gazette AND Rotterdam newspaper of 1813,
During this years was Marivault appointed by Napoleon the authority in Holland.
He tried everything to stop the smuggling of goods,information and letters from and to England.
The fishermen of Katwijk and Noordwijk were known to do this job.
One day Jan Vlieland came back with some other passengers from England.
Today we tell a story of one of those passengers.
The barones Minckwitz.
Marivault captured the ship "Wilhelmina"and took all passengers prisoner.
And send them to Dordrecht to a rasphouse.
Which is on the picture on top.
After one day in the rasphouse The Barones Minckwitz told Marivault everything he wanted to know.
She declared that in London she had a salon where all kind of people came to play.
So she knew a lot gossip and she told everything.
She was released the next day and went to live with Lady Forsyth and the widow Kinnard in Rotterdam.
After some time they went to Den Haag.And when they left there they forgot to pay for their wigs.

The three brothers

In 1803 we read in a Dutch newspaper about the capture of different ships by either the French or the English .Also a fishingship of local fishermen"de drie gebroeders" was seized .Maybe that was the start of Jeromes adventures.

No copy of the last page.

So far the search for a copy of the last page of the prayerbook has been in vain.
A question on the BBC messageboard did not lead to anything positive either.
So that is the end to that lead.
As we still like to find out more about Jerome we will keep looking for new clues.

Looking for the prayer book

The knowledge of the birthdate of the first Jerome Nicholas Vlieland is from a prayer book.
Jerome Nicholas Vlieland had a son William Heath Vlieland.
On a visit to his uncle`the bishop of London`he was given the prayerbook.
Soon after 1881 he recorded his family births, marriages and deaths .
Entered in the rare cover it says `my father Jerome Nicholas Vlieland born 27 June 1796.
Florence Adele Vlieland had the book when she married.
She and Douglas Anderson had three children.
Beryl Audrey Anderson was the daughter who inherited the prayerbook.
She married with Mr.Burt and they had a son Clifford Burt.
So through this line the Vlieland prayer book went to the grandson of Florence Adele.
And here they are.

Susanna Maria Vlieland

Susanna Maria Vlieland is the daughter of Jerome Nicholas Vlieland and Sarah Heath.
She was born 04-08-1826 Great Yarmouth Norfolk.
She died as

Catharine Veri Vlieland

Catharine Veri Vlieland
born 1831 - Norwich, Norfolk, England
Daughter of Jerome Nicholas and Sarah Heath.
She married 02 of august 1855 at ST Michaels at Plea Norwich with Samuel Ethelbert White.

Census 1851 
The children are living in Redwellstreet .

Later her mother comes to live in her family.

An article in "The Era" on 12th November 1881 shows Samuel Ethelbert White as a Freemason - a visitor from Lodge No 922 of the Lodge of Asaph at the " installation meeting of this celebrated dramatic and musical Lodge held on Monday evening at Freemasons Hall". (this is a typo since he was actually Initiated into Augustine Lodge No 972, Canterbury in 1878 before the family moved to London).
He was born in 1830 and died June 1886 in Fulham at the age of 56.
His father Samuel White was a Gentleman.
Catherine died 1 april 1916 in London Bow.

And we received a lot of information about Catherine and Samuel from their great great grandson.
Here his story.
Samuel Ethelbert White was born about 1828 in Canterbury. A chorister there at six, he becomes a supervisor for Her Majesty’s Excise. At the time of the 1951 census “White Samuel E” age 23, an Officer Of Inland Revenue - born in Canterbury, Kent is shown as a “Visitor” at a lodging house at Elm Hill, St Peters Hungate, Norfolk. Samuel Ethelbert married Catherine Veri Vlieland in Plea Norwich, Norfolk on the 2nd of August 1855. Unlike his ancestors, Ethelbert seemingly did not stay in one place for long. Perhaps his job as an Inland Revenue Officer of the Excise regularly moved him or perhaps he moved on promotion. Certainly the Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh, Scotland), for Monday, January 26, 1857; Issue 21009 reports under "Home Intelligence - Inland Revenue Department" that “Samuel Ethelbert White, officer of Gye-Ryde has been appointed on promotion to be officer of Southampton forth division - Isle of White collection". Forgetting about any moves not picked up by the census, they had moved from Norwich to Southampton. They thenmoved from Southampton after the birth of their two year olds Charles Ethelbert and Elisabeth Mary Mills Annie (Bessy) and before the birth of Bertha Susanna in 1860. They are at 22 Sussex Street, Winchester in 1861 and he is an Excise Officer.
they are still at Winchester for the births of Ethelbert Ernest, William Blomfield (named after Catherine's Aunt's husand the Bishop of London) and finally Samuel (Athelstan) in 1870. The census shows them at home with a live in servant.

This presumed ‘settling’ is not to last. The family have moved to London by the time of the 1871 census. Samuel Ethelbert is not at home on census night. Instead White Samuel E age 43 (Supervisor Of Inland Revenue [Excise Branch]) is shown as a Lodger at 23 Market Place, Warwick. So not simply an Officer by now, but promoted again to Supervisor. He is at home at the time of the 1881 census. By then they have moved, again, from Waterside, Jew's Row, Wandsworth to 9 Alfred St Lucas Terrace, Bow, Stratford-le-Bow. Samuel is a Freemason.


An article in "The Era" on 12th November 1881 shows Samuel Ethelbert White as a Freemason - a visitor from Lodge No 922 of the Lodge of Asaph at the " installation meeting of this celebrated dramatic and musical Lodge held on Monday evening at Freemasons Hall". (this is a typo since he was actually Initiated into Augustine Lodge No 972, Canterbury in 1878 before the family moved to London).
Samuel Ethelbert’s death is registered in Fulham in 1886. He had made a fresh will only the previous year. Although one witness is a clerk William Staunton, the other is a master mariner; Frederick John Davis of Belle Vue Gibbons Street Plymouth – a friend or someone from ‘off the street? The Death Duty Register for that year suggests that the executor of his will was wife Catherine and that Probate was granted (affidavit 8096 folio 2226). The will itself, though, shows Charles Ethelbert as sole executor but that Catherine Fritz White (widow) is the lawful attorney (presumably since Charles is in Bombay).

in Samuel’s will obtained from the probate office, he is left a house in “Ryde Street in the Parish of Saint Dunstans in the City and Borough of Canterbury”. William Blomfield and Samuel Athelstan, his brothers, are also left a house in the same street. Bertha Susannah White (spinster), his second daughter, is left number one Ryde Street. Although the houses are no longer there, pictures of the street in the 1940’s show Ryde Street as a terrace of six houses numbered one to six and from the front at street level they simply looked like a terrace of brick/white painted tiled roof cottages (much like many normal early Victorian ones) BUT from the back and high up it was obvious that five and six were later additions with a separate pitched roof and nos 5-6 were not even rendered at the back. (The properties were still occupied when the council took the pictures). It seems clear that Samuel Ethelbert owned the whole original terrace (1-4).

In addition his eldest son Charles Ethelbert is left his Fathers old residence at 6 Blackfriars (currently tenanted by William Jennings Esquire) together with his main address at 36 Chesilton Road, Munster Place Fulham. His wife also receives his A shares in the Civil Service Supply Association Ltd and the balance in his Inland Revenue Building Society Account and, of course, all the rents and revenues for the rest of her life. After his wife’s death these are also to go to daughter Bertha.

Their son Ethelbert Ernest White was my G grandfather. A master fishmonger, he was born in Winchester, Hampshire (the county town of Hampshire) on 2nd September 1862. According to the records, the boy Ethelbert was sent back to Canterbury by his parents to what is understood to be the oldest school in England (Leach – Hist Med Schools - Methuen 1915), The King's School. According to the school register he left in April 1877.
Catherine survives husband Samuel Ethelbert for nearly thirty years. The houses in Ryde Street do not stay in the family for that long. In 1907 the following advertisement appears in the Canterbury papers – “Four empty freehold cottages, Ryde Street, St. Dunstan's Canterbury, what offers. Contact Lepine, 43 Broad Street, Canterbury” The street, in the St Dunstans area of the city is a historic suburb centred on the route towards London.


Older Daughter Bessy (Elizabeth Mary Mills Annie) was not mentioned in the will. Had she married or died since she was shown in the 1881 census living at 9 Alfred St Lucas Terrace, Bow? There is a plethora of Elizabeth White’s in the appropriate records and I cannot yet tell for certain…
Younger sister Bertha Susanna White marries on the 7th of June 1888. Her husband Edward Brice Presland is a company secretary. The witnesses are her Mother Catherine Veri and Adolphus Charles White a Professor of Music living in Park Road Hampstead. He was born in Canterbury and is then 57. He is a widower, his wife Eliza A White an artist painter born in Chelsea is deceased. He is not the only Mr White, a professor of music in the lives of the White siblings. Bertha, however, is not to inherit for almost thirty years. At the time of the 1901 census Edward Bertha and their daughter Helen Bertha age 21 are living in Putney (an area they have been in since the birth of their daughter). Helen Bertha marries Leslie Miller in 1914.
Catherine is also in Putney in 1901– a widow of 67 “living on her own means” and is still in London at the time of the 1911 census. Her death is recorded in Kensington in 1916; aged 82. She has lived alone for some time. At the time of the 1891 census, however, she is a widow of 57, living at 26 Waldemar Ave Fulham ‘on her own means’ and two of her children are home that night.
William Blomfield is shown as a captain in the merchant service and Samuel Athelstan is a commercial clerk. Later, the South Africa magazine of December 12, 1896. under "Domestic Announcements" reports a marriage, on December 1, at St. Peter’s Church, Brockley, Deptford, London by the Rev. C. H. Grundy of William Blomfield White, Chief Officer S. S. Inyoni, to Jessie, second daughter of the late James Tench White, of Canterbury. One of the witnesses is her Mother Sara. Jessie had been born in 1874 to another professor of Music born in Canterbury; living at 42, St Georges Street. His name is James Tench (or Tench James) White.
Charles Ethelbert has joined the Navy. He is in Bombay in 1886 at the time probate is granted on his father’s estate and the London Gazette shows the Admiralty Notice of the l5th January, 1890 showing that he is appointed sub lieutenant from 31 Dec 1889.
Perhaps it is fitting, that Samuel Ethelbert White became a supervisor for Her Majesty’s Excise. since his father Samuel White was a collector of ‘poor rate’ taxes for the Crown at the time of the 1851 census although Stapleton & Co’s Topographical History and Directory of Canterbury…August 1838 directory records him, not only as “S White – collector of poor rates” but as the Parish Clerk of St Mildreds (near the Cathedral) and All Saints (Eastbridge) and also as the Deputy Registrar of births and deaths and living at 6 Blackfriars. It also shows a Mrs Samuel White under “Milliners and Dressmakers” at St Georges. It is possible that this was his wife…
Samuel White (Senior) had been born in Canterbury in 1802, married Elizabeth Mary Hatton, also a ‘Canterbury lass’, in 1822 and lived in the St Alphege area of Canterbury (in the shadow of the Cathedral) all his life.
Not only did Samuel name his first and second sons Ethelbert (first Christian King of Kent), but his first born Bertha, the name of Ethelbert’s wife. (But then his last born he called Athelstan. Athelstan (or Æthelstan) called the Glorious, was the King of England from 924/925 to 939 – effectively the first King of England!)
.

Looking for more information of Catherine or her spouse Samuel Ethelbert White we
found Ethelbert White and we wondered if the name is the only link or that it could be a grandson of Catherine.
