Calvinia Baptism Record

This addition to the tree is somewhat speculative.

According the baptism record, the witnesses were "Frederik J van Zyl" and "Cornelia E Jober". However I searched I could only find one couple that seemed to fit this description, namely Frederik Jacobus van Zyl (b5c3d6e4) and Cornelia Elizabeth Josina Joubert (b5c4d1e2f4). They had a son, Frederik Jacobus van Zyl, who was indeed married to Martha Hester Jacoba du Plessis (refer the names of the mother in this baptism record). My hypothesis is that the baptism entry has the name of the father incorrect. It should not have been Hendrik Jacobus van Zyl, but Frederik Jacobus van Zyl. I could not locate any Hendrik Frederik van Zyl who was married to a Du Plessis.
