Source: Batavia, marriage register 1865, entry nr. 60 [found on LDS-film 1208808 item 4]

6 Sept. 1865. Ignacio Jose Mendioroz, born in Pampeluna, 27 years old, actor, living in Batavia, son of Marten Mendioroz, deceased, and Pascuala Zoiza[?], living in Pampeluna; with Agnes Emelie Ferdinandus Still, born in Stralsund, 23 years old, actress, living in Batavia, daughter of Georg Jacob Still, civil engineer, and Fredericka Wilhelmina Sass, both living in Stralsund. Witnesses: Pierre Auguste Emile Leuroigne[?], 38 years old, director of the French Theatre in Batavia, living at Rijswijk, and Louis George Cressonnier, 57 years old, hotel-owner, living at Molenvliet.
N.B. I am not completely sure whether I interpreted some names correctly. For instance, when you google Mendioroz, you will find that on the Geni-website the name of the groom is listed as Jose Ignacio Mendioroz and that the family name of Ignacio’s mother is listed as Ynza instead of my Zoiza

Furthermore, Pampeluna is Pamplona (famous for its bull run) and Rijswijk and Molenvliet were some of the richer quarters of old Batavia.
