FamilySearch film, image 1023 of 2,166. VERY LIKELY THE SAME FILM AS SRC-077 (007844939, Cape Probate Records of the Master of the High Court, 1822-1990), whose husband-notice sits at image 1888 OF THE SAME 2,166 - the identical image count is hard to read any other way, but the target card has not been seen for this pull, so the film number is [TO VERIFY]. SRC-077's caution transfers: FS attributes that film to Pietermaritzburg; the records are CAPE, order originals from KAB.

The citation as it was given

Transcribed as read, printed headings and all: 'KENNISGEVING VAN STERFGEVAL. Overeenkomstig de voorziening vervat in de 9de Afdeeling der Ordonnantie 104. 1. Naam van den Overledene: Adriana Cecilia Venter. 2. Geboorteplaats: SNEEUWBERG. 3. Namen der Ouders: Jan Louis Venter en Johanna Jacomina Smit. 4. Ouderdom: 65 jaar, 9 maanden, 11 dagen. 5. Stand in de Maatschappy: [blank]. 6. Gehuwd met OKKER ALMERO OOSTHUYSEN. 7. Datum van het overlyden: den 9 Maart 1858. 8. Aan welk Huis, of waar overleden: te PRINS ALBERT.' Item 9, the children, THIRTEEN NAMES with the marginal note 'Allen zyn meerderjarig': Okker Jacobus, Johanna Jacomina, Susanna Catharina, Adriana Cecilia, JAN ADRIAAN, Petrus Martinus, Gert Adriaan, Jacobus Johannes, Catharina Petronella, Cornelis Andries, Dina Magdalena, Johannes Hendrik Oosthuysen, and in a second column 'Martha Jacoba / Maria Magdalena Oosthuysen.' - read as ONE daughter with four names (PER-000131), the surname written once, WHICH THE COUNT CONFIRMS: her husband's notice a year later (SRC-077) also names thirteen. | WHAT THE DOCUMENT SETTLES: her death date 9 March 1858 (the model's date, now on its original); her Sneeuberg birth; her age, back-computing birth to about the end of May 1792, six months before her Graaff-Reinet baptism (SRC-555); and JAN ADRIAAN as what her son was called - the third original to write it, after the father's notice and the register, exactly as 5b records. | WHAT IT PUTS UNDER PRESSURE: no OCKERT ALMERO among the children, in either parent's notice, and 'allen meerderjarig' cannot hold for a boy born 8 July 1839. See LEAD-0303. It equally cannot hold for a JOHANNES HENDRIK born 1840~ - yet he IS listed, so his birth belongs before about March 1837 and the model's circa-1840 is wrong by three or more years. His row's [TO VERIFY] on the name order also closes: the notice writes JOHANNES HENDRIK, as Pottas does.

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
