Can I ask another question on the attachment which relates to a death certificate for Maria Philippart father. There is an age of 22 shown after Henri Libert. Would that age relate to Maria Philippart or Henri Libert ?

Maria Philippart is the widow (veuve) of Henry Libert.

As fiddlerslass said: no mention of 22, because there's written trente-quatre (34).

This is the age of Maria Philippart. She was the one that reported the death of her father. All information in this certificate relates to her.
She was the widow (veuve) of Henri Libert, she's 34 years old, she's a housewife/ housemaid (menagère), she resides in Nivelles and she's the daughter of the deceased (fille du défunt).

Hi Zefiro

Many thanks for the translation you have answered my question. Sorry made a mistake with the attachment, I cut off a section which related to another daughter who was 22. Regards
