No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.

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

Research notes

The tree records his death place as 'Spionskop ... During Anglo Boer war' - one of the few place strings in that file that states the occasion rather than a town, which is why it survives the §5 warning about place data. He died on 24 January 1900, the same day as Johannes Barnard MalherbeM. A son of Susanna Catharina Petronella VenterM [PER-000869]. [TREE]

[14 Aug 2026] FamilySearch id LRMC-25B, from the PJVenter family-tree The file agrees with this row exactly on name, birth 14 June 1856 and death 24 January 1900, and it was the ONLY one of 1,171 records in that file that could give this project an id it did not have. [FS]

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.
