Ground they are on record on

• Oorlogs Kloof No. 175 (1940 consolidation) held it · 16 April 1941

What we don't know

• This is a body, not a person - it appears here because it held land, and a party to a deed has to live in the same table as the people. Birth, parents and burial do not apply.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Research notes

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.

What the record is missing

• The record stops in 1941 and never resumes third order · B2 trail-ends

  Oorlogs Kloof No. 175 (1940 consolidation) was worked as far as 1941-04-16, with Government of the Union of South AfricaH the last owner on record. 85 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.

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.
