Having posted all that Clarke info, I thought it might be worthwhile posting the 'mixed marriage' ancestors I am after. First off, Alfred HENRY (b 1868 St Helena, d 1922 Wynberg) married Eva Cornelia ROODE (b 1870 Wynberg, d 1924 Wynberg) - I know Eva's parents were Jacob and Sarah, but have been unable to trace any more info on this couple. It is possible that Jacob was Jacob Hartwieg, son of Helmon Hartwieg ROODE (b 1785 Paarl, died 1864, Vogelvallei, Piquetberg) and Maria Margaretha RYKHEER, as Eva's will states that her brother was Helmon. If anyone has come acrss any of these people or possible links to them I would be most grateful). Alfred and Eva had 4 children, William Richard, Jacob Daniel, Sarah Penelope and Vernon Robert. Which brings me to the next part. Sarah Penelope HENRY (b 1900, probably Wynberg) married Hendrik Jacobus or Johannes HENDRICKSE Jnr (b 1890, probably Stellenbosch), son of Hendrik HENDRI(C)KSE and Maria Johanna Margaretha HARTOGH (son of Pieter and Leentje), who lived in Ida's Valley, Stellenbosch. Hendrik's second wife was Sara(h) Johanna JORDAAN. Hendrik Jnr's father was also Hendrik, but his death notice says father was unknown and mother was Carolina KOOPMAN. The KOOPMANs and HARTOGHs I know were descended from Dutch men whose descendants married slaves, but I have been unable to find any direct links to these people. I am told that I might be able to find info on bapstisms, marriages etc in the DRC archives in Stellenbosch, which recently moved from Roeland Street - is it true that it costs R50 an hour? Are the Rhenish Church records also held here? Any feedback greatly appreciated, Sincerely Sharon Marshall
