Research notes

[SRC-073] Married Petrus Jacobus CloeteH at Prince Albert 7 Aug 1848. The tree records her as "Maria Jacoba Magdalena" - name order differs [TO VERIFY].

[24 Aug 2026] Her mother's death notice (SRC-580) writes her in a second column as 'Martha Jacoba / Maria Magdalena Oosthuysen', surname once - read as one daughter with four names, and the count confirms it: both parents' notices name thirteen children, which only fits if this is one person.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
