An outside possibility of a baptism entry in Swellendam: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK6-3Q2L-6?i=699&cat=959223

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

Might this be the death notice of her her father? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9LW-PS8K

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
