Belgium help please, Van de poel

[Danuella]

Yes!!! Yes please, I would very very much appreciate that if it wouldn't put you to too much trouble?
This side has been my stumbling block for absolutely years. It's so fascinating the information they put on the marriage/birth records, ie time of birth etc, really fascinating.
What do they mean by "under age daughter" do you know at all??
I am so grateful for you help

Yes, it seems they divorced on 26th July 1920 in Rotterdam. I can't manage to find the original document though.

They married on 29th August 1906 in Rotterdam. Do you have that info?
And had three children born there between 1907-1901.

According to Johannes Franciscus Josephus Van de Poel's death certificate (died 18 May 1838 in Oevel, registered by his brother-in-law Henricus Hoes) he was born on 16th April 1807 in Westerlo, but I can't find his birth registration. It also says that Johannes Franciscus Josephus Van de Poel was the "onwettigen" son of Joannes Baptista Van de Poel and Theresia Hasendonckx. Onwettig literally means illegal, i.e. his parents weren't married.

According to JFJ Van de Poel's marriage registration (17th April 1834 in Oevel) he was born on 16th April 1807 in Westerlo, which confirms his death record. It gives some details of his military service and the military's agreement to the marriage. Again, JFJ is recorded as the "onwettigen" son of JB Van de Poel and Theresia Hasendonckx, she is a farmer living in Olen and present at the wedding. The last known address of the father was working as a farmer in ? (can't make out the municipality). He left for the French Army in 1806/1807 and his place of death is unknown.  Very mysterious.
