Looking for more infomation on Abraham David Theron from South Africa

Question

2.His name could have been Abraham Dawid Stefanus Theron and he died in 1938, Wife was Emma Kristina Faldt b. 1885 and died 1966. If this was his first wife, I do not know.

I also have a Abraham Dawid Stefanus Theron as a POW in Portugal in 1900, he escaped on the 17 Nov 1901 fled to Holland and from there returned to South Africa by 1902.

Do not know if he is the same as the above no.2 or if all the above is the same man?

Answer 4

A search of the National Archives of SA data base using the terms Abraham AND David AND Theron found  9 documents

It looks like  Abrahan David Stephanus Theron applied for naturalisation in 1899 and died in 1838 and  was, as you say married to Emma Christina Faldt..

There is  an earlier Abraham David Theron who died in 1826 and a later one who was still living in 1956 and  possibly still living in 1977 (or that is yet another)
