Notes about Willem Marinus Naessens

He and his wife Edmée went their separate ways on 8 October 1940, when Edmée left to live in Amsterdam. However, they never formally divorced (in keeping with their strictly-held Catholic faith which - certainly at that time - frowned on divorce).

Willem Marinus was a pediatrician.
His name (Dr W.M. Naessens) appears on the list of passengers of the "Prinses Juliana" of the Nederland Line, leaving Rotterdam on January 6, 1923, for Batavia.

In the spring of 1923 the family went to the Dutch East Indies, it's probable that the appearance of Willem Marinus Naessens on the list of passengers of the "Prinses Juliana" in January that year means that he preceded his family by a couple of months. He set up a practice as pediatrician and general practitioner in Surabaya.

The family returned to Holland about November 1928 after Edmée developed acute psychosis a month earlier - something she eventually recovered from but had recurrent bouts for the rest of her long life. The family repatriated on the old "Bali", a freighter of the famous Nederland Line. It had very limited passenger accomodation (a single four-berth cabin) and was sold to Greece four years later.

In Genoa, they were met by Edmée's mother, "Omi", and then took the train to Brussels where Edmée and her two children moved in with her mother: Rue Frederique Pelletier 26. Willem Marinus ("Willy") was then still in Surabaya trying to find a replacement for himself in his practice and settling his affairs before leaving Indonesia himself in March 1929.

The family moved to Velsen (Stationsweg 68) near Haarlem, and Willem Marinus became a pediatrician with the St Antonius Hospital nearby.

In the spring of 1937 the family moved to Haarlem when Willem Marinus became pediatrician with the Maria Foundation, the same hospital he originally trained to become a pediatrician. They lived at Van Eedenstraat 15.
