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.

What we don't know

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Research notes

[TREE] Added 2026-07-31 by kin_sweep.py under the one-degree rule: child of Petrus Jacobus TheronL. Thin record, name, dates and the family link only. NO PLACE IMPORTED: the tree's place strings are systematically wrong and are not evidence.

*** [22 Aug 2026] HIS BIRTH IS TIGHTENED BY HIS MOTHER'S DEATH NOTICE (DOC-0333). *** The form gives one living son aged 13 on 10 April 1895, so he was born between 11 April 1881 and 10 April 1882 - better than the '1881~' this row carried, and consistent with it. Not written into birth_edtf, which stays as the register-level fact; the bound is stated here in words the way 4 route 5 requires.

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.
