• Historical: ⁵ This Source "Hooy Vlakte" by WGH and S. Vivier gives many accounts in which David Henderson Blyth and early descendants were engaged. In particular David was an administrator and counsillor of the Beaufort West Council for some 15 years during which his son John Alexander met and married Cornelia Weeber. Thus there was also a close relationship with the local Magistrate, none other than Ebenezer Thomas Anderson, whose son married J.A.Blyth, and with the Member of Parliament of the time, Peter J Weeber. Cornelia Weeber was the daughter of M.J.Weeber, the first Chief Jailor of the town, and also a Deacon and Elder of the local Dutch Reformed Church

Another name for Sophia was Sophia Catherine Blyth.

Marriage:

• Alt Marriage: ⁶ New Source gives marriage in Wesleyan-Methodist Church, Beaufort West as 12 Feb 1861, with some association with the Dutch Reformed Church. (DRC)
Since then a digital photo of the actual marriage certificate has been received confirming the 12 Feb 1861 as the true date, and the DRC the venue in Beaufort West. The certificate also reveals that Sophia was a minor, and she was married on her birthday! Thus the original date of <1857> in Worcester are replaced in this record.
A subsequent Marriage Record on Microfilm # 1560855 Item30 transcribed by Nolene Lossau, and sent to me by Dennis Green, confirms that they were married in the Dutch Reformed Church, the presiding minister being Rev. W.A.Newman.
