      Hello Dorothy,

      WM> The date of birth I have came from the article I mentioned, along
      WM> with the dates of birth of the other children. Also the marriage
      WM> date of 11 Nov. 1717
      WM> It seems he must have misread the year in which the marriage took
      WM> place? I must say, this article was written with authority!

      I can't find this article in the FAMILIA 2009 No. 1 ??

      I have written about this one before. I originally consulted the LDS
      microfilm version of the Stellenbosch marriage register and took my
      info for various marriages from there.

      Later I obtained a copy of the same registers that had been
      photocopied in the 1980s and now live in the Cape and Pretoria
      archives. The 1714 marriage page in the LDS copy (which does not bear
      any year date on it at all as it runs from May to November) has been
      bound between a page ending with 1717 June and a page starting with
      1717 September.

      If this page is in fact 1714 (as in the LDS film and as I believe to
      be the case) a lot of marriages fall into the correct
      date, rather than being a few years later than the first children -
      Van Zyl, De Vries, Odendaal. As the Archives copies are bound the page
      with the date 1714 runs from Jan to April at the bottom of the page,
      and the next page starts 1715.

      I hope that is not too confusing. In short, the 1714 May to November
      seem to have been misbound as 1717 in the Archives copy and misled a
      good number of poeple.

      WM> I see on MOOC8/7.1a - Willem Odendaal (jnr - my brackets) "van den
      WM> landbouwer Jan Odendaal rd:s208.16 over soveel denselven in seeven termijnen
      WM> moet betaalen, sijde 't geen den overleeden Willem Odendaal over d'
      WM> erfportie van wijlen sijn moeder Judith Nel wed:e Willem Odendaal d'
      WM> oude........) referring to Judith NEL as his mother.

      Yes, seems pretty good - Judith Nel's wills would be good to read
      though. The ones she made as a widow are most likely to mention the
      names of her children.


      Cheers,

      Richard
