Need information on the Meije family

Surnames: Meije; Hermelijn
This is regarding my 2x great grandmother:

Doortje Christina Meije
Birth 1859
Death 9 June 1909

She was married (or engaged) briefly to Adolph Julius Wijngaarde, then later married Jacques Francois Hermelijn (my 2nd great grandfather). I know several things about his family line (former slave etc) thanks to a genealogist in Holland who was studying the Hermelijn and Wijngaarde intersections, but she remains a mystery.

I know she was rumoured to be of Jewish descent although I am not sure there is any way to prove that. I have emailed the synagogue down there and so far no replies. Does anyone have any resources to find her?

I also know she had 13 children (she died giving birth to number 14!) and I have the names of 8 of them so if anyone has the names of the other 5, that would be awesome. I have

Jacqueline Francoise Hermelijn
Marie Hermelijn
Truda Hermelijn
Herman Marius Hermelijn 1887 – 1982
Theodoor Christiaan Hermelijn 1895 –
Alice Hermelijn 1899 –
Harry Hermelyn 1900 – 1974
Egbert Richard Hermelyn 1903 – 1983
