Translation from Dutch to English of Death Record - Mathijs van HOOIJDONK

[cmatt]

My 5x g grandfather, Mathijs van HOOIJDONK was born 1775 in Breda, Netherlands.  He married Cornelia VOERMANS 1793 in Breda, and died 10 September 1826 in Baarle-Nassau.  His occupation was a gardener.

I have attached a copy of the death record, and wondered if someone could please translate it into english for me.

I hope the record may tell how/why he died away from his wife and 9 children still living in Breda at the time of his death.

There are several other records dating to May 1826, 4 months earlier, held under his name in Stadsarchief Breda, but the documents are pages ad pages long, so not able to attach copies here.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Oh dear! Baarle Nassau

The borders between Netherlands and Belgium are very complicated in this areas.
There are Belgian enclaves within the Netherlands, and Dutch enclaves within Belgium!

There are even sub-enclaves within enclaves

Hovenier, a gardener! 

Skoosh.

Breda and Baarle Nassau are only 20 k's apart. The document says that he was born and resident in Breda, so it seems that his stay in Baarle Nassau was temporary. Maybe was visting or maybe he had a job there as he was a "hovenier" i.e. a fancy gardener.

PS the quality of the uploaded part of the document is too hard to read. I had to find the original first: https://images.memorix.nl/tlb/download/fullsize/4949d23a-946b-0794-d0ae-12d2ccc06f94.jpg (Note: I'm not sure whether the link to this downloadable image is persistant)

Thank-you to all who provided answers to my topic to translate the death record of Mathijs van Hooijdonk.

Thank you very much to BelgianAncestry H e l p for the translation. 

Perhaps I was reading too much into the fact that he was away from home when he died.  He probably  had a job in Baarle-Nassau, and unfortunately died there.

Many thanks . . . Chris
