Classification: Query
Here is the marriage of the couple you mentioned (province of Groningen, Netherlands):

Source Civil register - Marriage
Archive location Groninger Archieven
General Municipality: Aduard
Type of record: Huwelijksakte
Record number: 25
Registration date: 29-Oct-1881
Groom Durk Dijkstra, 27, arbeider ["Richard"; laborer]
Place of birth: Surhuizum, Achtkarspelen
Bride Margaretha Cloece, 18, dienstmeid [servant girl]
Place of birth: Aduard
Father groom Minze Durks Dijkstra, winkelier [shopkeeper]
Mother groom Jitske Geerts van Schepen
Father bride Jan Hindrik Cloece
Mother bride Johanna Warnera Hakkennes

Their children:

Jitske (f), b. 11 Feb 1882, Aduard; d. by Jan 1891
Johanna (f), b. 22 Jan 1884, Adorp
Bontje (f), b. 7 Jan 1886, Adorp
Henderika (f), b. 11 Dec 1887, Adorp
Minze (m), b. 18 Jul 1889, Adorp; d. by Jan 1893
Jetske (f), b. 8 Jan 1891, Adorp
Menze (m), b. 30 Jan 1893, Adorp
*Jan Hendrik (m), b. 18 Nov 1894, Bedum (apparently Henry went by his "middle" name; he was named for his maternal grandfather)
Johanna Maria (f), b. 12 Jun 1898, Hoogemeeden, Aduard
Jurriendina (f), b. 31 May 1902, Aduard
Dirk (m), b. 5 Feb 1905, Aduard

I don't think "Dorecht" is correct. There is a Dordrecht in Zuid (South)-Holland; maybe Hendrik passed through there during emigration. But mom was from Aduard, Groningen, and dad was from Surhuizum in Achtkarspelen, Friesland. You'll find more generations on this couple by searching these sites:
