Hi, I got most of the Pitout history from work done by a guy named Carl Pitout - think this is what you are finding on MyHeritage.
My link to the Pitout family is through my wife’s mother’s grandmother (Getruida Clasina Sonnekus).
I was wondering if it was Olivier or van Staden :-/
Actually trying to track records for this Elizabeth Magdalena Petronella Doubell marrying this George Doubell, b12. Was hoping you had a great big book you could open and tell me :-)
Marie Vermeulen-Boshoff says about
Johanna Catharina Pitout Twyffort
She was born, Olivier see her death notice.
All the other children must be link to the other mother
cf children being disconnected:
Charl Josephus Maarten Pitout Jacobus Wihelmus Pitout Sarel Josephus Gerhardus Pitout Elizabeth Magdalena Petronella Doubell
Also see letter on profile Charles Josefus Pitout, SV/PROG about Twyffort/ Pitout surname:
Dear Charles,
..You wanted information about my Father. His name is Charles Josefus Twyford. His Mother's name was Pitout. He was born in Brussels but grew up in Paris where he lived with his Aunt a Miss Pitout. She made him Heir on condition he adopted the name Pitout instead of Twyford. That's why we are now called Pitout I think her name was Jeanet. My Father left her when he was approximately 18 years old. He went into the army in England; The 62nd Regiment. .... Your loving Father S.J.A. Pitout.
We need documentation to validate Elizabeth Magdalena Johanna Pitout Twyffort, b4c3d2 as
Elisabeth Magdalena Johanna Susanna Pietersen Pitout Twyffort
Marie Vermeulen-Boshoff thank you for your help unknotting that Olivier / Pitout problem. Much appreciated.
