Hi.  I am still trying to verify that Johanna Helena Fick born 4/10/1878 in Philipstown South Africa is indeed the same person/wife of Hendry Frederick Thomas Bennett (My great grandfather)  Please help.  I'm thinking that Jacoba Helena Fick (Victor) and Johannes Christoffel Fick are her parents as they were from Hanover area in Northern Cape South Africa....All information would be appreciated

Found this image of a marriage record on FamilySearch: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GT71-9F8Z?mode=g&wc=SFVW-2JS%3A44975801%2C44975802%2C50670101%2C50888601%3Fcc%3D1468076&cc=1468076 (Source: "South Africa, Church of the Province of South Africa, Parish Registers, 1801-2004," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-23579-40840-33?cc=1468076 : accessed 15 February 2016), South Africa > Cape of Good Hope > Kimberley, St Cyprian > Marriages with index 1889-1906 > image 22 of 335; William Cullen Library, Wits University, Johannesburg.) via http://www.identitynumber.org

Unfortunately this 'Marriage 1889 - 1906 Image 22 of 335 has no bearing on Fick or Bennett.  I think this answer was posted to the wrong person.  Thank you for your interest.  Still would appreciate help on finding the parents of Johanna Helena Fick who married Hendry Frederick Thomas Bennett.  I found their marriage certificate but I need to comfirm that she is the daughter of Jacoba Helena Victor and Johannes Christoffel Fick.  Thanks

It clearly states:

Henry Frederick Thomas BENNETT Johanna Helena FICK 1900-05-15 TVL, Jo'burg, St. Mary the Virgin Anglican Marriages 1895-1906 250 1149A View Image Ellen Stanton
 

Apologies if the image is the wrong one, but the chances that there are another couple with the same names at that time marrying, is slim. What you need is to find a baptism record of the daughter ...


This one is correct.  The above link takes me to Kimberley to totally different surnames.  I have a copy of the below mentioned marriage register.  I am trying to establish if Johanna Helena Fick is the daughter of Jacoba Helen Viktor/Victor and Johannes Christoffel Fick.   This is my problem.

I had a quick look in Family Search but found nothing. Have you tried the Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/7627302901/ of South African Genealogists? I have other priorities at this moment so alas I cannot be of further service to you. Thanks for asking us (and Robin for the re-tagging).
