S. J. Kleu (husband of Maria Johanna Susanna Catharina Blignaut)
active 1936 · historical
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1920, because their spouse born 1895, 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.

What we don't know
- No birth date is recorded.
- No death date is recorded.
- Neither parent is recorded, so this person is not attached to the tree above them.
- No dated record ties this person to a specific piece of ground.
- Nothing dated is recorded about them at all, they are here because another record names them.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.
Research notes
[SRC-616] Named only by initials, as 'S. J. KLEU', married out of community of property to Maria Johanna Susanna Catharina Blignaut. He was dead by November 1962, when she is entered as a widow (SRC-615). *** ALMOST CERTAINLY A SEBASTIAAN JOHANNES, which is the commonest male name in this family - six of them in this model. For a wife born December 1895 the candidates are Sebastiaan Johannes KleuL b.1876 (G6RW-ZPV) and the two born 1879 (G82G-87N, GVJG-NPB). NOT CHOSEN: initials are not a match under 9. *** A row exists so that the gap is visible and so the Aberdeen thread has something to attach to. LEAD-0332.
