Marriage Parents

Date: 19 Dec 1717 [1]
Place: Stellenbosch [1]
Child: Pieter Gerrit (b4c2) Bezuidenhout [1]
Child: Cornelis (b4c4) Bezuidenhout [1]
Child: Aletta (b4c3) Bezuidenhout [1]
Child: Johanna (b4c5) Bezuidenhout [1]
Four of the children (Wynand, Pieter, Cornelis and Aletta) born to Gerbrecht Boshouwer prior to her marriage in December 1717 to Wynand Wynandsz Bezuijdenhout appeared not to have been formally acknowledged as his biological children during his lifetime. However, there was a longterm de facto relationship between the parents prior to their marriage; and the four children all apparently used the family name in marriages and baptisms; one child, Wynand, was evidently named for this father.[8]

Marriage Proper

Date: 22 Sep 1727 [9] / 28 September 1727 [10]
Place: Dutch Reformed Church, Stellenbosch, Cape of Good Hope [10] / Cape Town, South Africa [9]
Groom: Roelof van Wijk [10] / Roelof van Wijk [9]
Bride: Aletta Bezùijdenhoùt [10] / Aletta Bezuidenhout [9]
Roelof van Wijk van Cabo De Goede hoop, Borger aan Drakensteijn J:M: met Aletta Bezùijdenhoùt van Cabo Voornoemt J:D: [10]

Child: Catharina van Wijk [9]
Child: Adriaan van Wijk [9]
Child: Wynand Willemsz van Wijk [9]
Child: Johanna Sophia van Wijk [9]
Child: Maria Dorothea van Wijk [9]
Event: Divorced [9]This is unlikely, as the will of Roelof van Wijk clearly states Aletta Besuijdenhout as his widow. Likewise Aletta Besuijdenhout's will clearly states her as widow of Roelof van Wijk. [11]

Divorced status is suspect, as her will states she was Roelof van Wijk's widow

Content of her inventory at death casts doubt on the 1773 date of death, as well as the 'divorce' status given
