Private User, please could you post the link to Upham's reference. If I remember correctly he gave some of those an asterisk suggesting that they were worthy of further study.

1. Catrijn Wagenmakers vd Kaap *c.1657 ffyp has as disproved.http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g5/p5248.htm I seem to have MPed to prevent merging ibto another CW profile. Will disconnect once I've had the chance to find the other one. (Unless someone gets a chance before me).
Catharina Wagenmakers, SM - that was easy :-) just followed my own Curator Note on Catharina van de Caab :-).
Will disconnect.
The Muster rolls for 1673 - 1679 all give two children. The 1682 entry only gives 1 child.

Cape Mothers article by M. Upham

"Anthonij came to this marriage with no children and they had no children together. Petronella (7) and Christoffel (4) are mentioned as his step-children, but Christoffel keeps his Snyman surname." The family are out of the news, except when they sued their neighbour about a duck (1674). Petronella and Christoffel came running to Groote Catrijn to report that they had witnessed their duck waddling down the street with a knife in its back.

Yes, Sharon Doubell and Private User, thank you, we are now at a better place; from my recall it is only those two children that seemed certain, Christoffel and Petronella, of whose death we are certain.
