Research notes

[SRC-590] A WIDOW OF SIXTY-ONE when she married the twice-over-widowed Frans Stephanus BotmaL (PER-001925) at his own house in the Prince Albert district on 21 July 1930 - her woonplaats given as Prins Albert, his as Skoorsteen. Her register line names her as van Tonder BORN OOSTHUIZEN, so a first husband named van Tonder predeceased her; neither he nor her parents are identified here. Birth about 1869 from her stated age. G. M. van Tonder witnessed the wedding, which reads as her first husband's family standing with her.

SHE OUTLIVED HIM: his 1936 death notice records him as 'getroud', not weduwenaar (SRC-591).

NOT YET MATCHED to any Oosthuizen this project holds - the surname alone is never enough, and no Magdalena Maria Oosthuizen born about 1869 is in the model. LEAD-0308. No FS id yet.

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.
