Maria van der Star was born in Waddinxveen, Netherlands in 1723. Her father, Jan , was one of 10 children, the youngest of whom was Hendrik (1) b. 1705.
Maria went to Den Haag, where in 1743 she married Johannes Mensing. Their first son, also Johannes was born in 1748. In 1768, Johannes jr. married Adriana van der Star.
Adrianas father was Hendrik van der Star (2). I have not been able (so far) to trace Hendrik(2)'s marriage, which would hopefully tell me where he was born. However, I have found that he died in 1780, at the age of 75, making him born in 1705. All of the above took place in Den Haag.
My query is, do you think there is enough information to assume that Hendrik 1 and 2 are the same person, which would mean that Johannes jr. married his mothers cousin?
