DE LA BAT, Gerard Hendrik Willem ¹

  Noted events in his life were:

• Family. ² They had no children
From an email dated 25 Aud 2009, supplied by Ritzena de la Bat Charlotte Helm was his 2nd wife.
"According to your family tree he was married to Charlotte Helm and had no children. "By her" would be correct. She was his 2nd wife. His first wife was Cecilia de Villiers . They had 5 children and all the de la Bat's in SA stems from this marriage. ( He was the only married son from an only son, Gerard Henry Guillaume de la Bat - the progenitor in SA.) See full family tree of all the De La Bats in SA in "Stamregister en Familiegeskiedenis van die familie De La Bat" - an updated version of the first book written by me in 1972. The same information (upto 1936) is available in GISA's SAG volume L/M. Now also available on CD's"

Gerard married Charlotte Maria HELM, daughter of Rev. Daniel Johannes HELM and Johanna Maria Williamina ANDERSON, on 29 Jun 1897 in Worcester, Cape Colony, Southern Africa.¹ (Charlotte Maria HELM was born on 17 May 1851 in Zuurbraak, Cape Colony, Southern Africa ¹ and died on 27 Oct 1927 in Worcester, Cape Province, Union Of South Africa ¹.)
