Others of the same name

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

An Oosthuizen kept a scrapbook through the war with press cuttings, envelopes, stamps and permits, and it is in a museum an hour from Prince Albert. What is in it, and which Oosthuizen was she?

What would settle it Sight of the scrapbook, or a catalogue entry giving her full name and dates.
