Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-249] Named as the wife in her husband's 1863 death notice, spelled there "Maria Magdalena Elisbeth van der Westhuysen". The Beaufort West baptism register names her as the mother in BWB-232-11 and BWB-261-07, spelled "Elizabetta" and "Elizabeth". She outlived him by seventeen years.
[4 Aug 2026, SRC-253] HER OWN DEATH NOTICE, and it rewrites her. She was born at CANGO, DISTRICT OUDTSHOORN, was sixty-six when she died on 24 June 1880, and is recorded in her own right as an AGRICULTURIST. She did not remain a widow: after Cornelis Petrus died in 1863 she married GABRIEL ANTONIE LE ROUX (PER-001436) and was his widow at her death. Her moveable estate was valued at about 200 pounds. She died AT THE FARM HAGAS, District Prince Albert.
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.
Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
