----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Research Notes:

(1) Willem Adriaan van Zyl was baptised on 15.2.1784. The Death Notice indicates a Date of Birth circa 1782.

(2) According to GISA's SAG Vol 17, the third son of Willem Adriaan van Zyl, Jacobus Andreas (e3) was born on "Buffelsfontein". The above Death Notice indicates "Buffel fontyn dist Calvinia" as Willem Adriaan's Place of Birth.

(3) According to GISA's SAG Vol 17, the second last child of Willem Adriaan van Zyl, Gesie Jacoba (e12/e11), was born on the farm, "Enkele Wilgeboom, distr. Clanwilliam." The above Death Notice indicates that Willem Adriaan van Zyl died on the farm, "Enkelde Wilgerboom dist. Calvinia, ter plaatse van C van der Merwe".

(4) The Death Notice is signed by "C A van der Merwe". It so happens that Carel Petrus van der Merwe (b3c10d2e8f3) died on the farm "Wilgeboom" distr. Hantam in 1847 (Source GISA's SAG Vol 5b.) Two of the daughters of Carel Petrus van der Merwe, namely Anna Elsje Johanna (g2) and Johanna Sophia (g7) married sons of Willem Adriaan van Zyl (b6c6d7), namely Jacobus Andreas (e3) and Hendrik/Henning Jacobus (e7), respectively. "C A van der Merwe" might be Carel Aaron van der Merwe, son of the same Carel Petrus van der Merwe.

I believe these connections between the family of Carel Petrus van der Merwe and Willem Adriaan van Zyl are material facts in assessing whether the above Death Notice is in fact that of Willem Adriaan van Zyl (b6c6d7).
