Named on Bernhard's death certificate, which says that Wilhelm died at Belk.



The Pless family records gives Wilhelm's date of birth and note his moves from Oppeln to Orzesche with papers dated 13/01/1823 and from there to Belk on 10/11/1829. The record covering this period does not indicate any other family, so it is likely that his marriage took place after his move to Belk.
