Hermanus Petrus Janse van Vuuren
active 1863 · Janse van Vuuren line
No birth date is recorded for this person. The family puts an outer limit on it: born no later than 1856, because their mother born 1814, at most 42 at the birth. That rests on an assumption about ordinary childbearing ages, not on a document. It is an upper bound and not a birth year, and nothing in the model records it as one.

Research notes
[SRC-249] Second-named child on his father's 1863 death notice, and a minor at that date. Not otherwise traced; he does not appear in the part of the Beaufort West register transcribed so far.
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.
