Research notes
[30 Sep 2026, SRC-263 / SRC-382] A SON OF PER-000762 AND A HALF-BROTHER OF PER-000219, admitted because he is named on an original document as the holder of ground: he is the informant on his father's death notice (SRC-382), "of plaas Dikdoorns Noord, distrik Williston". Melville gives him born Calvinia 7 February 1900, died Brandvlei 29 May 1965 aged 65 years 3 months, buried Brandvlei, farmer of Dikdoorns-Noord, married Elizabeth Maria Brink du Toit (1901-1969). HIS MOTHER IS NOT SETTLED AND NO MOTHER IS CLAIMED. He is born in 1900, and the five children of PER-000762's first marriage are all named as minors on their mother's 1895 death notice (SRC-400), so he belongs to a later marriage - but the model holds that marriage as PER-001772 Maria M. E. ZandbergM while Melville gives a second marriage on 1 August 1896 to Engela Helena van Schalkwyk. Those may be two marriages or one error. LEAD-0382. [TO VERIFY]
