Suid-Afrikaanse geslagregisters, lists the children of Walter David Peter as follows:

b2 Walter David Peter x Uitenhage 2.3.1853 Anna Maria Magdalena MEIRING d 17.9.1859 (24.4.5) dv Albert Meiring en Anna Maria Magdalena Renken xx Uitenhage 6. 12. 1859 Hester Arabella JONES (Henry-dg)
c1 Michael George t 24.9.1858 (5.3.-)
c2 Anna Maria Magdalena t 25.9.1859 (3.5.-)
c3 Aletta Maria Dorothea t 23.9.1859

c4 Michael George * 1863 x Steytlerville 20.9. 1886 Maria Margaretha SMITH
d1 Ester Arabella * 24.4.1893 = Steytlerville 4.6.1893
c5 Emily Smith * 22.5.1868 = Jansenville 2.8.1868
c6 William Jones * 14.5.1869 = Jansenville 23.8.1869
c7 Susan Catherine * 1.10.1870 = Jansenville 12.12.1870 x Steytlerville 19.4. 1886 Jesaias Engelbertus VAN RENSBURG

Private User points out that the above list of children of Walter David Peter Doubell is not complete, taken from an early edition of Suid-Afrikaanse geslagregisters; there are at least three children not mentioned: Sarah Anne Miles nee Doubell, Eva Catharina Johanna Stoffelina McLeod nee Doubell, and Douw Doubell.

It seems to me that Walter David Peter Doubell, c4 born 1861 is likely to be another child of this 2nd marriage, given the exact same First and Middle Names, and the 1861 birthdate in the gap between the 1859 marriage and the c1863 birthdate of the present c4 first child.

It is not impossible, though, that he is a child of one of Walter David Peter (b2)'s brothers.

Any thoughts?

And another child: Henry Doubell, c5 born 1862 (also buried in Steytlerville) could quite feasibly fit in at c5
especially as we have him naming one of his sons Walter David Pieter Doubell (b1884)

Regarding Walter David Peter Doubell, c4, born 1861, Jan Jones uploaded his baptism - http://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000019251290050& - I just made it a source on Walter's profile.

Yes!! Thanks Craig - you're the best :-)

And thanks Private User for putting it there in the first place :-)

Gerhardus Stefanus Doubell, c14 (b1876) is another possible sibling. we have a death notice without parents mentioned on it.

I'd have been more inclined to place him as the son of Gerrit Stephanus b9 *4.11.1844 - were it not for the fact that he only marries Rosa Cornelia Erasmus in 1866.

Dear Sharon & Craig

I have uploaded the baptism record of Emily Smith DOUBELL (Emily Smith Doubell, c8)
It is interesting to note that she was baptised on the same day as her cousin Henry William JONES. The two entries in the Baptism Register are following directly one after the other.

Best regards
Jan

Thanks Private User - that meant I was able to confirm it. I linked both cousins to it as well.

(I've just been tracking the intertwinement of the Jones sisters (Hesther Arabella & Marian / Mary Anne) whose children marry each other - all becoming Doubells in the end. Shew, those villages must have been small :-)
