Research Notes
- I believe Magdalena's mother's first names given in Magdalena's death notice[1] is an error made by the scribe. I believe the witnesses at the baptisms of some of Magdalena's children, summarised below, are convincing enough that her parents are David Johannes Roux and Anna Catharina Verryne.

Baptism Apr4, 1842, born 26 Jan 1842; Magdalena Petronella; Father: Roux, DZn, David Johannes; Mother: Verreine Anna Catharina;
I guess Anna Catharina does not quite match with Magdalena Petronella
edited by Riël Smit
From that notice: +7.10.1898 at age 64 year, 9 months, i.e. * 1.1824, widower of Helena Maria Smuts, who must then be a second (or third?) wife. The 8th child listed is Magdalena Petronella.
Edit: Nope, not him. His marriage to Helena Smuts lists him as a 20 year old bachelor at the time.
Here are baptisms of other children of David Jacob Roux and Johanna Helena Smuts (in Swellendam):
So does not look very likely unless there was a mariage between 1841 an 1844
