Cornelius Johannes Jacobs says 'According to Pierre's CM in 1667, he was 27 years old when he got married - he was thus born in ca. 1640 and not 1651 as currently indicated on his Geni profile. Can this be changed?'

Marriage contract between Pierre JACOB and Suzenne DEVOS, 03/07/1667, in Guînes
Translated into English by Valeta Betty: is basically saying that Pierre Jacob (labourer/farmer, about twenty-seven years old, residing in Offequerque [Surely, Oudekerke? which is West Flemish for Vieille-Église Sharon June 2024]) appeared in Guisnes, and is the son of Fremin (footnote says: variant of Firmin) Jacob and Margueritte de Nyelle, natives of Vielle Esglise, and Suzenne Devos (a native of Esglise and twenty-one years old), daughter of Jean de Vos and Suzenne Absolon. And then the rest is just the marriage contract of promises made to keep.

Thank you for confirming Pierre Jacob's year of birth. I missed the source of proof.

I am try to determine the year of birth of his wife, Suzanne Vos. Do any of you have this perhaps?
