Adriana Cecilia van Zyl gedoop te Beaufort-Wes

11 Julie 1838 · family · Prince Albert

Born 18 June 1838, baptised three weeks later. Daughter of Jacobus van Zeyl and Susanna Chatarina Oosthuisen. NAMED FOR HER MOTHER'S MOTHER, Adriana Cecilia Venter (PER-000002) of Middelwater - the first daughter, exactly as the vernoemingspatroon predicts. Witnesses: Hester Elisabet Strydom, Jan Louies Venter, Siena van W[ij]k, Dabid Jacobus Strydom and Susara Oosthuisen. | HIS NAME IS NOT IN THIS WITNESS LIST, and that is NOT evidence that he was away. The register's convention is that PARENTS ARE NEVER ALSO WITNESSES AT THEIR OWN CHILD'S BAPTISM - they occupy the 'Ouders' column and the 'Getuigen' column carries everybody else. It holds on every entry on this page: the Oosthuizen x Smit child, the Lombard child, the Roex child, all of them. So this entry says NOTHING either way about whether Jacobus stood there on 11 July, and neither does it about Susanna Catharina. The witnesses are largely HER side and her neighbours - Hester Elisabet Strydom, Dabid Jacobus Strydom, Jan Louies Venter, Susara Oosthuisen - which is ordinary for a first daughter baptised near her mother's people, and is not a sign of an absent father.
