According to Michelle Pook
First Name = Maria
Can someone verify?

"South Africa, Civil Marriage Records, 1840-1973", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Z1N2-DYW2 : 1 February 2021), Mary Magdalene Hayward in entry for Jacob Johannes Fransoa Cloete, 1876.

Seems like she was know as either Mary or Maria.

Her fathers side appears English, perhaps hence the “Mary” as was her Paternal grandmother. She Married Jacobus Cloete and May then have used the name Maria. ?

Thanks I suggest Maria be added as the nickname for now?

Yes agreed
