Baptised 1 May 1887, Oudtshoorn 13
Died Before April 1917 14


Sarah Susanna Petronella Booyens Born Circa 1889
Born Circa 1889 15

Notes: The only formal evidence we have of Sarah's existence, is the listing of her name on her father's 1917 death notice and in a death notice for her husband. We have found no death notice for her, no baptism entry, no birth registration, no recorded marriage anywhere. In her father's 1917 death notice (VAB MHG B4304) it is recorded that she is already married at that time to "Wm v.de Vlies."
By the Afrikaner Naming Convention, the second daughter should bear the name of the husband's mother. Pieter Booyens' mother is Sara Susanna Snyman. This leads us to conclude that Sarah Susanna is the second daughter. Since we have a known birth date for Gesina, who has to be the third daughter, named for the wife, it places the birth of Sarah around 1889-1890
Any help in clarifying the picture around this lady would be most welcome.
