"The notes on Petrus Johannes Roets's profile overview was added to the prolile I created way back when, before all the other source documents were found.
"The death notice of Petrus Johannes Roets only mentions one wife, Johanna Petronella Roets (Fourie) and 12 children.
Neither Cornelia Christina Roets (Jooste) nor her 7 children are mentioned."
This note is still a question for me:
"Only two names of children are the same on both wives' death notices.
Petrus Johannes and Sophia Adriana"
Did he have 2 children with the same names by the two wives or are they the same people that should be the children of the first wife as they are mentioned there first and their baptismal records indicates that they are the children of the first wife?

One solution would be to find the marriage doc of Sofia Adriana Roets Hearne/ Hurn - to establish her birthdate as the same or different from this baptism doc of Cornelia's daughter: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C953-3SYF-D?i=4

Just a note here
RE: 1886 DN of Cornelia Christina Roets (Jooste)
The last two children mentioned by Sharon earlier,
* Christoffel Child
* Christiaan Child
looks like two chilren on the death notice but in the distribution account added to the profilesof the children it is clear that it is one person.

I am not sure but this could be her...
La Rens Renske van der Westhuizen Radley
It looks like her father and sister signed as witnesses
PJ Roets
S Schmulian
Sharon Doubell and Private User please take a look at La Rens Renske van der Westhuizen Radley in particular the witnesses on marriage certificate.
Could this be 12. Renska Redley ?
Thank you Sharon, will do.
Daan Botes you also manage some of these profiles, when you have time also take a look please.
So the information you will find on family search the children haven’t been divided between the wives they all bunch together under one wife. I don’t know how to Separate them.

And here he’s married to a Smit and children are listed source documents are lacking

All the children except for:
Petrus Johannes Roets
and
Sophia Adriana Hearne
have been placed with the correct parents and source documents are attached.
I think we will find that Sophia Adriana Hearne (Roets) is married to someone in this
see last person mentioned here.
Sophia Adriana Hearne
→
Petrus Johannes Roets (her brother)
→
Cornelia Dorothea Roets (Johnson (Bennfield))
his wife
→
Braganza Wallar Johnson (Bennfield)
her brother
→
Susanna Margaretha Johnson (Hern)
his wife
→
family: John Rodger Wotes Marthinus Hern, b4
her father
This Roets/Johnson/Hern families intermaried a few times.
Sharon Doubell can you lock the two Sophia Adriana profiles (to prevent later merges) for us please.
Both have baptismal record attached to their profiles now.
Sophia Adriana Hearne and Sophia Adriana Roets are now relationship locked. Yell if you need me to do more.
