I was looking for some information on Willem Hendrik Frederik Dreyer and came across my great, great grandmother's info that you entered on WikiTree.
Catharina Beatrix Du Pree (Dreyer) (Birth: 2 March 1856 and died 1 March 1917)
I also came across a death certificate for her somewhere and what I have noticed was that only the living children at the time of her death were indicated on this certificate.
Her husband was Willem Hendrik Frederik Dreyer (birth: November 1855 and died 10 Desember 1915)
They had one more child - the eldest - she was my great grandmother :
Gertruide Magdalena Dreyer (Birth 16 June 1887 and died 15 November 1905) (husband: Johannes Hendrik Geyer - birth 21 August 1881, death 20 May 1972). :She died one hour after the birth of my grandmother - Getruide Magdalena Geyer (birth: 15 November 1905, died 28 May 2001)
Thus she being the eldest of the children of Catharina and Willem.
The siblings then for Catharina and Willem should be recorded as follows (Dreyer family tree):
g1: Gertruida Magdalena Dreyer
g2: Willem Hendrik Frederik (Oom Groot Willem - never got married)
g3: Tant Christina - Johanna Wilmina Christina (First Husband Roelof Petrus Scheepers)
g4: Tant Riet - Maria Elizabeth (First husband Baurcher)
g5: Tant Hannie - Johanna Susanna Maria (First husband Franz Johannes van Dijk)
g6: Tant Dorie (Dorothea Maria Elizabeth) (First husband Jan Malan)
Unfortunately I don't have that much more information on the siblings. I will let you know if I come across more.
All of the best and I hope you find this insightful.
