Helena van Dijk - Second Marriage - The Netherlands

Helena van Dijk - Second Marriage - The Netherlands

Surnames: van Dijk
Looking for any information on Helen Van Dijk who married Willem Uijda Kuipers in 1901 in Alem.

Records indicate her father was Gerardus van Dijk and her mother was Anna Sloth

She had at least two sons from first marriage
Johannes Marinus Kuipers b 1899 and Gerardus Hendricus b 1904

Family states that she remarried after Willem passed in 1909
but I have no record of the second marriage, spouses name or additional children

Any help identifying this woman would be greatly appreciated
