*21* Anna Maria Hansouls (?-?)

Short description

Anna Maria Hansouls

No date of birth or death, parents or occupation

Not attested.

She married Andreas Wirtgen, date no known.

Speculative note by Klaus Bung (1935-x): Andreas Wirtgen and Anna Maria Hansouls had a son, Anton Wirtgen, who was born in Willroth in 1794 and died in Horhausen (neighbouring villages).  So that's where the family lived.

If Anton's mother, Anna Maria Hansouls, was about 20 when she got married and gave birth, she would have been born in 1774.  Her own mother (if they all got married at 20 and these were there first children) would have been born in 1754.  The Hansouls clan is likely to be from the Horhausen region.  The www.familysearch.org site on the Internet, provides the following names:

Dimothea HANSOULS, Sex: F, Marriage: 9 Nov 1757, Church Sankt Maria Magdalena, Katholisch, Horhausen, Rheinland, Preussen

Helena HANSOULS, Sex: F, Marriage: 19 Nov 1782, Church Sankt Maria Magdalena, Katholisch, Horhausen, Rheinland, Preussen

(???  Look up marriage certificates of these two on Internet and look for names of spouses and further details.)

That would make it feasible (or would it not?) that Dimothea Hansouls, married on 9 Nov 1757, had a daughter, Helena Hansouls, that same year.  This daughter got married at the age of 25 in 1782.  She could have given birth to Anna Maria Hansouls in the same year, enabling Anna Maria Hansouls to get married in 1793 and give birth to Anton Wirtgen on 3 May 1794.  (No, doesn't quite work out; that would have made her eleven at the time of marriage!  But could the preceding assumptions be slightly adjusted to make the genealogy just about feasible???  Thalia, you have a go now!  At least it would not be worse than the genealogy of Christ at the beginning of St Matthew's gospel.
