Notizen bei Johannes Hendrikus Wardenaar

Hendrikus is also spelled "Henricus"
Married three times, the first two were sisters: Maria and Johanna Lisnet, both of which died of tuberculosis.
Johannes was known in the family as "Johan"
He contracted dysentery two days after his younger brother Bram became "commies" at the office of the Residency in Surabaya and died at home in Surabaya within a day! His son Charles was almost 12, and his father "Opa Bart", 68 (he may have been up to five years younger, Opa Bart's birth date is not certain but it would have been anywhere in 1780-1785).
After Johan's death, Opa Bart also joined Johan's third wife Louisa Even's household, and Bram became engaged with a girl from Surabaya, Wilhelmina van Gijene. He was nearly 26, she was nearly 20. They were married on 25 February 1854.
Opa Bart lived with his daughter-in-law Louisa to the very end of his life, and died in 1869 when he was almost 84.
Charles had gone to live in Kediri in about 1867, where he met a Javanese girl, Warsinah, and they would have eight children.

In 1837, when Johan was 21 years old, he became "surnumerair ambtenaar 3rd class" (a junior Government service position) at the Office of National Revenue and Cultures in Surabaya, no doubt assisted by his father who had a highly-placed position in the same organisation.

Johan married Maria Lisnet, a girl from Surabaya who had known for some time, a year later and almost at the same time he was also appointed "Controleur 3rd Class," his first permanent position in the Colonial Public Service.

They were disappointed that they failed to have children in the first few years of their marriage, Maria was frequently ill and was often helped in the house by her younger cousin Johanna.

Eventually, they had a son - Charles Thomas Wardenaar - born in 1841, when Johan was almost 25, his little brother Bram just 13 and "Opa Bart" about 56.

Sadly, Maria's health deteriorated and she died at the end of 1845 of tuberculosis, leaving behind a young son of 4-and-a-half.
Johan buried himnself in his work, he had just become "3rd Commies" at the "Residentie" office in Surabaya, and as per January 10, 1846, also took on the job of "Commies" at the police station of Surabaya. A Commies was a clerk or administrative assistant in the public service. The "Residentie" was the office of the highest colonial administrator for East Java,
His household was now run completely by his sister-in-law Johanna and what everyone expected happened: they were married on November 4, 1846 and Johanna Susanna Lisnet, sister of Maria Frederika Lisnet and aunt of little Charles also became the latter's new mother.
Soon after this, Bram (now almost 19 years of age) moved in with the family as well because the somewhat 'loose' and chaotic living arrangements of his father (Opa Bart) involving frequently changing relationships with different Javanese women were causing too many conflicts.

On June 23, 1847, Johannes (always called "Johan") became "provisional translator for native languages", considered to be a very a very good job and due to his excellent education generally and head for languages. He was based in Surabaya but in the course of his duties he had to travel frequently to West and Central Java.
Unfortunately, after two years Johanna also became ill. Becoming increasingly weak, she eventually turned out to have tuberculosis, just like her sister, and she eventually died at home in Surabaya early in 1850. Charles, now 8-and-a-half years old, lost his second mother, but fortunately his uncle Bram, then almost 21 and still in training, continued to live in the house for another few years.
About a year later, Bram got a job, or at least his first permanent position, as a clerk at the directorate of the "artillery construction shop" in Surabaya. He was not technical at all but more of a pure bureaucrat and civil service penpusher, but he got the job because of the influence of Opa Bart who had been a captain of the Genie (Army Engineering Corps) in the past.
Things were very unstable for a few months, but after a year it all changed again when on February 21, 1851, Johan married for the third time, in Kediri, in East Java. His new wife was Louisa Catharina Even, who he had met in Kediri on one of his travels and who he had stayed with as a guest a number of times.
At the time, Johan was 34, his young brother Bram was 22, his son Charles 9 and his father, Opa Bart, almost 66.

Louisa went to live with her new husband in Surabaya and had an immediate effect on the household, creating a new stable rhythm while still maintaining close contact with her own family and friends in Kediri.

Bram now finally got the chance to work for his own future. He was appointed 3rd Commies at the "Residentie" office in Surabaya on March 11, 1853. More than likely he was helped in this by his brother Johan who had had the same job himself in 1846-1847.

However, exactly two days after Bram's appointment, Johan suffered a virulent attack of dysentery and died at his home in Surabaya on March 14, 1853. So now Charles, almost 12, had lost both his father, his mother and his first stepmother.

Luckily, the relationship between Charles and his (third) mother Louisa was very good. After her husband's death her first inclination had been to return to her home town of Kediri, but eventually decided to stay in Surabaya for Charles' sake because his educational opportunities would be better there. Opa Bart also moved in with them because he had finally decided that he wanted a more stable environment, and he remained there for the rest of his life - Louisa cared for him until his last moment and he died in that house in February 1869, almost 84 years old (or 79, depending on when his exact date of birth was).

In the meantime, Bram had become engaged to a girl in Surabaya, Frederika Wilhelmina van Gijen. He was also promoted in his job, becoming 2nd Commies on January 1, 1854, and married Frederika on February 25, 1854. He was nearly 26, she was nearly 20.

Charles moved to Kediri in or maybe just before 1867, possibly because of Louisa's connections there. He met a Javanese girl that he would have eight children with, over the years, all in Kediri - the first born in December 1867 and the last in March 1883. It was the first one, Maria Frderica Wardenaar, who would marry Josephus Theodorus Naessens and thus become the bridge between the Wardenaar and Naessens families.
