Hierdie perseel het geen gepaste opmetingspoligoon nie, en kan dus nie op die kaart geteken word nie. Dit is 'n gaping in die kadasterpassing, nie 'n afwesigheid uit die rekord nie.

Navorsingsnotas

[2026-09-23, SRC-673] THE LOAN PLACE WHERE JOHANNES JACOBUS OOSTHUIJSEN SENIOR DIED. MOOC8/44.45: he died 26 June 1828 'op de plaas genaamt de Buffels Valij aan de Grootswartberg', having bought a third of its opstal from Marthinus OosthuysenM M:zn on 27 January 1828 for Rd 1064 (OWN-000129, RES-000050). MOOC8/73.34 (SRC-675) is a second Oosthuysen household on 'Buffels Vally' the same year. THE PIN: the cadastre has one Buffelsvlei on the Groot Swartberg, Oudtshoorn No. 18 at De Rust, 1263 ha, on the south face of the mountain 18 km from Klaarstroom and at the far end of the poort that opened in 1858; the Beaufort West 'BUFFELS VALLEY' No. 268 that the 1915 divisional map labels is in the Dwyka corner, nowhere near the mountain, and Calitzdorp's Buffelsvlei burial ground (CEM-487) has no farm of that name in the farms layer. [TO VERIFY] against the ward of the field cornet G. Joubert, who took both 1828-29 sheets. PREQUEL GROUND under 9a, on the far side of the Swartberg; NEVER core.

[2026-09-23, SRC-690] THE DE RUST PIN IS WITHDRAWN, THE SAME DAY IT WAS MADE. Three things put this Buffelsvlei in the Ladismith country and not at De Rust. (1) The Swellendam opgaafrol of 1808 has Pieter Cornelis OosthuizenL junior (PER-002084) on 'de Buffelsvallij gel: als boven' - aan de Zwartberg - at 14 uuren from the drostdy, and the three Ladismith farms read on the previous opening calibrate that column at about five kilometres to the hour; Oudtshoorn No. 18 is about 43 hours out. (2) Both 1828-29 sheets were taken by the field cornet G. Joubert and sworn at Swellendam before the resident magistrate (MOOC8/71.28), and the Swellendam district's 'Field Cornetcy of Groote Swarteberg' is where the diagrams of 1832-38 put Voorbaat, Buffelsfontein, Buffel Rivier Poort and Ockerts Kraal (DOC-0328 to DOC-0330, DOC-0347): the range the papers call the Groote Swarteberg is the one above Ladismith. De Rust lay in the George district from 1811. (3) The family's other places are all there. NO POLYGON YET: the Ladismith cadastre has no Buffelsvlei by name; the candidates are Buffelfontein No. 129 at about 13 hours beside Wolvefontein, Buffelsfontein No. 36 and Buffel Rivier Poort No. 30 at about 16, and the 'Buffels-kraal aan de Swartberg' of 1808 at 14. LEAD-0365. A wrong pin is worse than a missing one, so the row carries none.

Oop vrae

Which Ladismith-country farm is the Buffelsvlei of 1808 and 1828? prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0365
Pieter Cornelis OosthuizenL junior held 'de Buffelsvallij gel: als boven' (aan de Zwartberg) as a loan place in 1808, 14 uuren from Swellendam (SRC-690); Johannes Jacobus Oosthuijsen senior died on 'de Buffels Valij aan de Grootswartberg' in 1828 (MOOC8/44.45) in the field cornet G. Joubert's ward, sworn at Swellendam; a second Oosthuysen household was on 'Buffels Vally' the same year (MOOC8/73.34). The Ladismith cadastre carries no farm of that name. Which farm is it?

Wat dit sou uitmaak A diagram or a grant that names Buffelsvlei with a farm number in the Swellendam or Ladismith division, or a neighbour that is already pinned.

The right-hand leaf of the opening that holds entries 436-472 names the farms of the Touwsberg, the Touws river, the Rooiberg and the Swartberg at 13-18 uuren, with the ward labels 'agter de Swarteberg' and 'agter de Tradouw', but on screen the rows after 439 could not be ruled against the names leaf. Which household holds which farm?

Wat dit sou uitmaak Each farm line matched to an entry number, and the column headers of the numeric block on the right-hand leaf read.

Wat die rekord kortkom

The record stops in 1828 and never resumes second order · B2 trail-ends
Buffelsvlei (aan de Groote Swarteberg, Swellendam district) was worked as far as 1828-06-26, with Johannes Jacobus OosthuizenH (b.1753) the last owner on record. 198 years follow with nothing. Who held it after that, and is it still one farm?

What would settle it The current title deed traced backwards, each transfer names the one before it, or the Surveyor-General's subdivision diagrams, which are what usually explain a farm going quiet.
20 years, and the ground changes hands to nobody we can follow second order · B1 succession
On Buffelsvlei (aan de Groote Swarteberg, Swellendam district), Pieter Cornelis OosthuizenL (1788-1842) is the last owner recorded from ../1808, and the next entry is Johannes Jacobus OosthuizenH (b.1753) from 1828-01-27, 20 years later, with no person in common. DOC-0369 records the later arrival but not the 20 years before it.

What would settle it The Deeds Office transfer register for this farm between 1808 and 1828. A transfer names its predecessor in title, so one deed closes the whole gap.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
