The occupation in modern Dutch would be schaliedekker, roof-slater.
After some backflippin' and dodging around the location on google maps,it suddenly dawned at me,as we have several => braine's in Belgium,like Nederbrakel,S' Gravenbrakel,Kasteelbrakel; 'Brakel is Dutch for Braine...
So the match is,..
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wauthier-Braine
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woutersbrakel
If compared to the old book, only the r is doubtfull, but ie was y in the old toponym of it.The split in the term came later.

His place of origin in his marriage record is quite clearly "Wauthier Braine". As Adrien Kintziger said, this probably corresponds to the town of Wauthier-Braine, which is between Brussel and Nivelles, in the province of of Walloon Brabant.

Thank you both for your efforts. I was able to find his birth record here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3MW-8Q7Y-D?i=15&cat=276055. Can you clarify his mother's name for me?

I think it would be Joanna Michaelis Cloequet , or Michaeldis?
Cloequet is an easy read.

But, on the initial Flemish written cert from Aaigem, the mother is named as Mariella Cloequé, so you have 3 options,
Mariella.
Joanna Michaelis.
Joanna Mariella Michaelis.
Same person, however, given -Cloequé or Cloequet, the pronunciation is exactly the same,as the t is unspoken.

Most of one side of my family comes from the Netherlands, with a small amount of Belgian both Flemish and Walloon.
I read enough Dutch and Latin to understand genealogical records. Flemish and even Afrikaans presents little difficulty for me for straightforward records such as the civil registry in Belgium. But I am not able to speak any of these languages, or understand non-genealogical/everyday contexts.
