Thanks Suz & Jorose!
Here's the 1900 Census Record containing the Foreman family (
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11097-145956-45?cc=1325221&wc=MMPJ-2LP:n774604410). Joseph Moses Foreman happens to be born in GB and moved to the US in 1857.
As for Arie, here's a timeline based on the information so far:
- 1874 - Born in Bennebroek (NL)
- 1889 - Moved to Rosario (ARG)
- 1893 - Moved back to the Netherlands
- 1895 - Married Hendriksje Stolk
- 1900 - Relationship with Jacoba van Driel
- 1901 - Divorced Hendriksje Stolk
- 1902 SEP - Visited Walla Walla, Washinton (USA), according to the the papers from March 1908
- ? - Sailed back to the Netherlands?
- 1903 OCT - Sailed together with his aunt Cato Lem from Hoek van Holland (NL) to Winchmore Hill (GB)
- 1903 DEC - Married his aunt Cato Lem in Edmonton (GB)
- 1906 - Sailed from Liverpool (GB) to St John (CA). Place of ultimate destination: Winnipeg, Manitoba (CA). Registered as a single male on passenger list. Divorced Cato?
- ? - Sailed back to the UK?
- 1908 MAR - Sailed from Liverpool (GB) to Halifax (CA) again. Place of ultimate destination: Midland, Ontario (CA)
- 1908 MAR - Crossed the CA-USA border near Detroit Michigan
- 1908 OCT - Married Sarah Foreman (née Davis) in Bozeman, Montana (USA).
Fun to see that Arie declared he was born in 'Bowden', Australia when he married Sarah. A couple of months earlier, when he crossed the border near Detroit he said he was born in Bogden, Adelaide, Australia. That particular record also states that his nearest relative or friend in the country where he came from is his Uncle, Hendrick Roothoff from "Cheltanham, Adelaide, Australia". There is, however, no record of his fathers brother Hendrik Roothoff living in Australia. Hendrik was born in Heemstede (NL) and died in Castricum (NL).
And so the plot thickens...
