Rudolf Cornelis Jacobus Bezuidenhout

No dates recorded

No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1855, because their spouse born 1830, within 25 years. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Research notes

Thin record: groom of Johanna Jacomina Susanna VenterH (PER-000879) at Colesberg, 29 May 1848 (SRC-578). Father Joannes Petrus Bezuidenhout consents beside the bride's father Petrus Jacobus VenterM. No FS id yet; the bride's page (G4CS-4G3) likely names him.

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.
