Please add Douw Gerbrand Steyn (1805-1879) as spouse and she is also the mother of his daughter Francina Susanna Lasya (Steyn) Kruger (abt.1846-1900). Francina Susanna Lasya appears on both their death notices as child and Hester Jacoba Kruger is also named as her mother on her death notice.

Further to my comment below. Having located her Probate record and two of her marriage records, I am now of the opinion that she may have been married 4 times. First to Tjaart Steyn, then to Barend Johannes van der Walt, then to Piet Venter and lastly to Douw Gerbrand Steyn. She appears to have had children with all bar Piet Venter and some children appear to have been named after the fathers. I'd like to find the 2nd marriage record to Barend van der Walt to prove she was a widow at time, but haven't had any luck so far. I might just hold off on the merge for the moment.....

This is the likely entry in the SAG Register - 3rd husband surname matches with [Kruger-3674], but not given names. I will proceed with the merge.

Did she (the 'duplicate' Krùger-5096 has to be merged into) also marry two other spouses?

Kruger-3674 and Krùger-5096 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates

Good Day, I suspect that this Hester Jacoba Kruger was previously married to Tjaart Steyn. I am still looking for documentary evidence.
