I am not in agreement with the parents of Mary Elizabeth de Wet as allocated on Geni.
Mary Elizabeth Coetzee
My theory is based on names in the family, Afrikaans naming patterns, baptismal witnesses:-
Mary Elizabeth de Wet x Godfried Johannes Coetzee - Marriage 2 Aug 1886. Cape Town - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-D1P9-GHL?i=160&...
I have found no baptismal record for Mary Elizabeth de Wet. Her dates are taken from the gravestone she shares with her husband.
Godfried’s Baptism - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-698R-Z3?i=435&...
They had 9 children. All baptismal records are available.
Mary’s parents are likely to be William Marthinus de Wet and Eliza Ruth Seldon Cottle (Her birth 19 Sep 1843 and Baptism 27 Nov 1843, Cape Town) - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:DXPJ-59PZ )
Marriage of William Martinus de Wet x Eliza Cottle - 1 Feb 1860, Stellenbosch - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKD-XSNC-R?cc=282...
One of Mary de Wet’s daughters is Eliza Ruth Seldon Coetzee Birth 11 Jun 1888 Baptism 15 Aug 1888, Cape Town - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-D1JQ-29P?i=165&...
Witnesses - Carolina Christina Cottle (married to Thomas Henry Cottle, the brother of Eliza Ruth Seldon Cottle); Johanna Maria Heydendrych; Michiel Adriaan Heydendrych; Petronella Magharita Coetzee x Levy
Any comment on my theory?
