Josephus Andibarila & his Borel descendants in 's-Gravendeel

The Borel family of 's-Gravendeel, Holland, descends from Josephus Franciscus Wilhelmus (“Joseph”) Andibarila who signed his name as "Joseph Andeberrela". He was born around 1788 in Antwerp, Belgium. Given the sound of his surname, and the fact that his eldest son had brown eyes and black hair, his ancestors probably originated somewhere around the Mediterranean.

Joseph was tailor by profession. He was married in May 1801 in Strijen to Anna Bakkers. The marriage banns were published on April 17 and 5 and May 3. Anna originated in Strijen and was a daughter of Arnoldus Bakkers and his wife Margrietta Pallee/Polle/Pale. Given the obvious spelling problems, Anna's mother likely had foreign ancestors, too.

Josephus Andibarilla of Antwerp married Anna Bakker of Strijen in 1801 in Strijen.

Joseph and Anna had children named Wilhelmus, Margaretha (1803-1870), Arnoldus, Anna Cornelia (1807-1867), Josephus (j†), Josephus Franciscus & Maria (j†). They were living in a little neighborhoods named Mookhook and Schenkeldijk, located between 's-Gravendeel and Strijen. However, they had their children baptized in the city of Dordrecht according to a special movement within the Catholic faith.
Apparently, the pronunciation of Joseph's surname was so problematic for the Dutch that he changed it to “Borel”.
Anna Bakkers died on May 17, 1841, around 20:00 in Strijen. Joseph Borel, her widower, died in Strijen on February 18, 1846, around 18:30.

Joseph's eldest son Wilhelmus “Willem” Borel was born on July 3, 1802 in Mookhoek. He was baptized on July 18th in Dordrecht. He was married on August 6, 1835, in Strijen to 30-year-old Ariaantje Tuk. Ariaantje had had an illegitimate son Pieter in 1832 who died in 1833, and another on April 29, 1835, in 's-Gravendeel. Willem Borel acknowledged this last Pieter as his son when he married Ariaantje. That doesn't necessarily mean that Pieter actually is his biological son. After their marriage, Ariaantje gave birth to another son Adrianus Borel (1838-1880) who appears to have remained unmarried.

Josephus Borel was living at the Schenkeldijk near Strijen when he had his son Arnoldus baptized in Dordrecht in 1803.

Joseph's second son Arnoldus Borel was born in 1804 at the Schenkeldijk near Strijen. He was baptized on September 8, 1804, in Dordrecht. He was married on September 20, 1834, in 's-Gravendeel to Huibje Katoen (1800-1879). She was a widow who had had 7 children in her first marriage, and 4 of them were still alive. With Arnoldus Borel Huibje had 9 more children, but their son Joost was the only one who survived to adulthood. Joost was born on October 3, 1836, in 's-Gravendeel. In 1862 he married Neeltje Vermaas (1839-1922). Among their many children was a son named Huibert Borel who married and had a son named Joost.
