Others of the same name

Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

Research notes

Will 6 Oct 1886 at Parys, died at Ladybrand 11 Nov 1891 on the farm Eerste Kamp, leaving only movables (VAB O219). ONE OF THE FAMILY WHO WENT NORTH - a useful data point for the migration map.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
