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.

Navorsingsnotas

Tokkie's father; m. Anna Margaretha OosthuizenH 1918

[10 Aug 2026, SRC-357] BAPTISED AT PRINS ALBERT ON 1 FEBRUARY 1876, born 9 September 1875, register boek 53 bladsy 119. The birth date this model already held is now register-sourced. His parents on the page are Nicolaas James MarincowitzM and Catharina Maria Oosthuisen, which confirms the parentage already here, and the witnesses are his maternal grandparents PER-000127 and PER-000605. WHAT IT DOES TO THE GRAVE DISAGREEMENT: GRV-0362 reads 1875-1932 and this row has him dying 8 October 1952. The register confirms the 1875, so the stone is very probably his and the disagreement is the DEATH year alone, not a case of the wrong man on the grave.

[10 Aug 2026, SRC-358] Baptism 1 February 1876 confirmed a second time, from the DRC register index. Its place reads 'Beaufort, Transvaal', which is the geocoding corruption of 5; the typed 1875-1882 index places him at Prins Albert, boek 53 bladsy 119.

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.

Oop vrae

Anna Margaretha Oosthuizen assembles three farms in one deed, 1937 prioriteit 2 · LEAD-0040
On 20 December 1937 one transfer deed put Noorsdoringkop, Kleinbotterkraal and Kareemoerhoek into the name of Anna Margaretha Marincowitz, born Oosthuizen - over 10,240 morgen. Who assembled it, and with whose money?

Wat dit sou uitmaak The deed itself: it names consideration and predecessor in title.

Wat die rekord kortkom

The record stops in 1934 and never resumes third order · B2 trail-ends
Kromrivier (Kopjes Kraal Nr. 123 Gdlt 1) was worked as far as 1934-05-16, with Gert Jan Oosthuizen MarincowitzL the last owner on record. 92 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.
“F.S. Marincowitz” held ground next door and we have no tenure for them third order · B4 unheld-owner
A boundary description for Botterkraal (Jansenskraal Nr. 104 Gdlt 2) names F.S. MarincowitzM, a surveyor stating on the record that this person held the adjoining ground. We do hold Marincowitz tenure elsewhere, but none on this boundary and none at this date.

What would settle it The diagram's own date fixes the window. The quitrent or erfpacht register for that year names the holder of the adjoining place, and an estate inventory will name the farm outright.

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.
