| Notes |
- His parents Pieter senior and Dirkje had a house in Zeestraat, Noordwijkerhout.
Pieter moved to Lisse in 1875, came back, moved to Zoeterwoude in 1876, came back, moved to Zandvoort and in 1879 to Den Haag, learning his trade as a smith. Appeldoorn is also mentioned.
Pieter and his wife Johanna lived at on Zeestraat with his parents for some time after they married in 1881 because they are mentioned at the same page. Their first five children were born in Den Haag. Then after the birth of this fifth child in Den Haag they stayed for about a year in Utrecht, where address was 1e Daalschendÿk 52 r (new nr 102) in Utrecht, and occupation was smith. Laurens van Loevezijn, Johannas brother took over the house when the family moved to Noordwijkerhout on the 7th of July 1890 where in september 6th child Hendrika has been born.
Sons of Pieter and Johanna left Noordwijkerhout as "smidsknechten", so not already considered masters in their trade. Left maybe for learning the trade elswhere. Johannes spent some time in Bloemendaal.
1907 it was announced in the newspaper that Pieter was starting a "smederij" or smithy in Schippersslootweg, later called Havenstraat. They rented the house at the time, it was built in 1895.
1912 beroep smid, Noordwijkerhout.
In 1916 Pieter van der Raadt has bought a piece of land in De Zilk (northern part of Noordwijkerhout) at the Regenvlietweg (later nr 43). Previous owner the Warmerdam family. It means that Pieter and Johanna are looking for expansion. On this land he builds a small house and smithy/forge. The necessary drawing is made by the land registers and mentions name van der Raadt. The house still exits but Theo van Gijlswijk from De Zilk told cousin Jan Duivenvoorden that in 1922 two living rooms were added, (higher part, leftside of the house) so that was 4 years after widow Johanna van der Raadt-Loevezijn and her children decided to sell this house and smithy in july 1918. Theo also provided the request from Pieter in 1916 adressing townhall for permission to build this house and start a forger/smithy.
1918, announced in the newspaper that the van der Raadt brothers need a "rijwielhersteller", so they had expanded their smitty with repairing bicycles.
In January 1918 Pieter and Johanna bought the house in which they already lived for more than 10 years, Schippersslootweg, later called Havenstraat. Area square meters: 625. They payed 4.300 guilders to Van der Zalm, who owned it since 1900 and probably was their landlord in the years before. Beautiful building. The "schuur" was their workplace or smithy, stood alone, but much later it was connected to the house in the time it became a "snackbar".
Pieter died from the Spanish flu in 1918. Translated text from the death notice in Nieuwe Haarlemsche courant on May 11th:
Died today, after having been provided with the HH. Sacraments of the Dying, my dearly beloved Husband and our caring father, Mr. PIETER VAN DER RAADT, at the age of 60.
Noordwijkerhout, May 8, 1918.
The business will continue on the same footing. Through a solid and decent service, the Widow and Sons hope to make themselves worthy of the trust of their patrons and commend themselves to your favor.
Wed.P.v.D.RAADT AND ZONEN.
In July (17th) widow Johanna and her children make an inventory of the property of the deceased Pieter, who had made a last will in 1916. The heritage is not divided yet, widow Johanna keeps full "vruchtgebruik". Mentioned are two grandchildren, they replace their deceased father Pieter Johannes, who died in june that same year. Benefits are the two houses/smithys in De Zilk (A1416 on map) and Noordwijkerhout (that year E1299), at first they are mentioned without estimated value in contrary to the debts, they are all mentioned with figures. There is a mortgage given by the "weeshuis of Noordwijk (3500) and one by the sisters Van Nes (1500). Later in the document we find under "Baten" the estimated value of the houses, 2.140 and 4.500 guilders. With some other benefits the total is 8.160 guilders. Total debt is also 8.160 guilders, included the bill of the notary (43 gld). So benefits and debts are completely in balance or as mentioned at page 5, under, right: "nihil". So there is nothing to divide, a constructed approach by the heirs who must have decide in cooperation with the notary not to divide so the total value of the heritage could be assigned to widow Johanna.
Announcement by advert shortly after the death or her husband, Johanna wants to sell, because of "death and having double businesses". Johanna decided this very soon after their husbands death, because the advert is placed on the 16th of May. House valued on July 17th for 2.140 gld, sold 30th for 3.150 gld.
On the 30th of july 1918 the smithy in De Zilk, which they had built only two years prior, is sold with all equipment. Two businesses is two much for Johanna. The house is sold at a public auction. New owners are the Van Stijn family but "Hendrik Hogewoning" is the person who did the bid, so his name is mentioned.
This all is no more than two months before the death of Johanna!
On the 14th of November a new inventory and division of the property has to be made. This time very simple document. Benefits are 7.500 guilders, debts are 5.250 guilders, bill notary included. So to divide is the sum of 2.250 guilders. There are seven children plus the two children of deceased Petrus van der Raadt and his wife Wilhelmina (she died 1911). So 8 heirs, but one of them, Laurentius is not an adult and Christiaan is his guardian. Decision is made not to split, so Christiaan, Johannes (and Christiaan is his role of guardian) are the ones who will take over benefits and debts. The smithy is placed at their names. In November 1920 follows a final division and Johannes becomes sole owner of the smithy.
On 26th of April 1921 Johannes van der Raadt sells his house to the family Adrianus Vermin. Price is 9.010 guilders (compare: bought 1918: 4300!). The Vermins had a smitty on Haverstraat, close to Witte kerk (the White Church). They were smiths/blacksmiths and they also sold and repaired bicycles and gave horses new shoes. The combination smith/bicycles repair must have been a natural developed activity, the van der Raadt family did the same.
