Over the years, three members of the Beijen family in Hengelo married a member of a Lansink family:
Hermina Hendrika and Jan Lansink: second niece and second nephew Above is a picture of Johan Beijen and Hermina Hendrika (Mien) Lansink who are mentioned at B. Below are Jan Lansink and Maria Beijen who are mentioned at C.  Johan and Maria Beijen were brother and sister. They belonged to the Beijen-Spekreis division. Their partners, Hermina Hendrika and Jan Lansink, were second niece and second nephew. The chart below shows that they had great-grandparents in common. 
A small communityThe fourteen people mentioned in the diagram lived all their lives in a small community: they were all born in Hengelo (probably always in the hamlet of Woolde), the weddings were in Hengelo and they also died there.There were only two exceptions: Hermina Hendrika Lansink did not die in Hengelo but in Groenlo, and the wedding mentioned on the left in the diagram was in Alstätte, just across the German border southeast of Enschede. There was a special reason for the latter: for both it was the second marriage and they had both lived in Alstätte with their deceased first partner. After their second marriage they returned to their hometown. A frequent surnameThe name Lansink is frequent in Overijssel, especially in the east of Twente. The name is almost certainly taken from an 'erve' or property where ancestors of the name bearers lived.A complication in family research is that before the introduction of civil registration, in the east of the Netherlands the family name often changed when moving to another farm. People who had the same name did not have to be related. In addition, there were sometimes more farms on the same property and some farm names occurred in different places. For example, there were properties with the name Lansink in Woolde near Hengelo, in Hasselo between Hengelo and Weerselo and in Fleringen near Tubbergen. The farm 't LansinkThe Lansinks mentioned on this page probably all derive their name from the Lansink estate in the hamlet of Woolde. That farm was located on the site of the current residential area of Tuindorp 't Lansink, southwest of the center of Hengelo.Hermina Hendrika Lansink was born in 1878 in a farm called 't Lansink, which can be seen in the photo below.  Tuindorp 't Lansink was built in the early twentieth century on the initiative of Charles Theodorus Stork, the founder of the machine factory named after him. To make the development possible, a construction company founded by Stork bought the farm and the associated land. The farm was later demolished.

The marriage of Joannes and Gesina in 1824At the top of this page, the marriage of Joannes Biën and Gesina Lansink in 1824 in Weerselo is mentioned at A. Unfortunately, important mistakes were made when recording that marriage. As a result, there is uncertainty about the background of both the bride and the groom. That is regrettable because all members of the Beijen family in Hengelo are descended from them. As mentioned earlier, the name Biën changed via Bijen to Beijen.The page From Weerselo to Hengelo explains how things went wrong when mentioning the groom. In the marriage certificate his name was written as Gerardus Joannes Biën. The registrar derived that name from a baptismal certificate (an extract from the baptismal register) which stated that a child with that name had been baptized in Deurningen on November 7, 1792. However, a certificate with exactly the same content was used at a wedding in 1815. The bridal couple who were married at that time were still alive in 1824.
But the mention of the bride is also incorrect. For her, the marriage certificate also used the information in a baptismal certificate of someone who had already been married a few years earlier. In this case it concerns Gesina Lansink who married Johannes Lansink in 1819. Their marriage is noted in the chart at the top of this page. The Gesina Lansink who married Joannes Biën in 1824 could not have been the same as the Gesina Lansink who married Johannes Lansink in 1819. Just as for the groom's details, the first marriage certificate was probably correct for the bride and the second was not. The appendices to the marriage certificate from 1824 also include a statement from four older men from Hengelo about the bride's family:
