My parents were married in a church in Someren that was a temporary church according to my aunt because the other church had sustained war damage? The church no longer exists and there is no name of the church on their wedding record. Could you tell me what the name of that church would be. Their wedding was in May 1953.

Het altaar uit de kerk van Someren-Eind stond model voor een altaar in
in een kerkje van Djolu in de Belgische Congo.
Op aanraden van de Zusters van Asten maakte m,n broer er afbeeldingen van, het had de vorm van een vis. En is later aldaar door een kloosternon van de Missiecongregatie gebouwd.

Heeft iemand hiervan afbeeldingen om deze te vergelijken met de in Congo nagebouwde tafel?

I looked in a local newspaper in May and June 1953 to see if it included a statement of thanks from the bridal couple, but unfortunately I found nothing. You say that their wedding took place in May 1953, but was that a civil or ecclesiastical marriage. The marriages were not always the same day. A church wedding must always have preceded by a civil wedding. The church wedding could take place weeks or months later.

Marrying actually always happened in the church of the parish to which the bride belonged. If you have an address where your parents lived in Someren, it will be easier to determine in which church they married.

As far as I know, the churches in Someren have not been so damaged in the war that an emergency church had to be used temporarily. However, the church of Someren-Heide was a temporary wooden church that was built in 1936. It was still in use at the time of your parents' marriage. On September 1, 1959 the construction of a new stone church started, which is unfortunately already closed again. The patron of the church was Saint Jozef.

In 1968 a choir was founded in Someren-Heide, among which Jet Vossen-Vaes was one of the initiators. So there was then a Vossen family living in Someren-Heide.

You can see images of the emergency church in Someren-Heide on the website of the Regional Historic Center Eindhoven, which houses the photo collection of the municipality of Someren. See:

The Catholic churches of Asten and Someren now fall under the parish of Saint Franciscus. You can contact the parish at:

Perhaps it can be seen when and in which church the marriage was blessed.

De kapel van Sluis XIII was een hulpkerk van de Lambertusparochie van Someren-Eind. (Tot 1957 stond er ook een Lambertuskerk in Someren-Eind. De nieuwe kerk is de OLV ten Hemelopneming). Ik ken deze kapel alleen als "Onze Lieve Heer op Zolder". Deze kapel zat boven de St. Antoniusschool (hoewel er een grote afbeelding van St. Franciscus in de gang hing). Volgens mij is de school en de kapel ook pas later in gebruik genomen dan 1930: de school in januari 1949 en de kapel in april 1950. De missen werden opgedragen door de paters van de H. Geest uit Gemert en Weert en door de geestelijken van Someren-Eind.

I just realized that I had made a mistake in the original dating of the wedding. It took place on May 26, 1952 in Someren. They emigrated to Canada exactly one month later arriving her on June 26, 1952.

de link naar de lambertuskerk uit 1930 werkt nier goed. ik kom bij deze kerk uit
