Wilhelmina Francina Coetzer

SAF V. 7 page 335 -

b1c10d10 Wilhelmus Johannes (Coetser/Coetzen) bapt 14 Oct 1810 married Cradock 6 jul 1828 Jacoba Alberta Sophia Jordaan; married 2nd Wilhelmina Francina Wentzel: married 3rd Jacoba Sophia Muller.

Curator's note

I have looked at this and the evidence (so far) for the name in the attached Annandale document supporting the name Maria Francina Magdalena Wentzel is the document attached and the entry in SAG 10 page 136,

b3c5d5 - Maria Francina Magdalena born 21 sep 1815, bapt. Tulbagh 10 Nov 1815.

Her daughter's Death Notice (attached) supports Wilhelmina Francina as does the entry above from South African Families.

SAF V. 7 page 335 -

b1c10d10 Wilhelmus Johannes (Coetser/Coetzen) bapt 14 Oct 1810 married Cradock 6 Jul 1828 Jacoba Alberta Sophia Jordaan; married 2nd Wilhelmina Francina Wentzel: married 3rd Jacoba Sophia Muller.

So - at this stage the only documentary evidence we have is for Wilhelmina Francina (daughter's DN). We need to see one of the following -

- her baptism entry Nov 1815
- the baptism of her daughter Anna Aletta Sophia in 1844 - her own or husband's DN (not yet located) - A grave stone

to establish which is the main name and which is the AKA.

In the mean time I have added Maria Francina Magdalena Wentzel as an a.k.a.name, with Wilhelmina Francina as her given names. This can change with new evidence
