LOOCK JOHANN CHRISTIAN (S). - Berlin. Wagon-driver 1777-83, second coachman 1784-85, superintendent at Clapmuts since 1786. After the British Occupation he supported himself as a wine-farmer. In 1803 he asked the government to be restored to his former position as superintendent at Clapmuts. ~ (1) 15.9.1782 Christina Wilhelmina Nel; (2) 7.8.1821 Jacoba Adriana v. d. Burg of the C., wid. Georg Jacob Wiehahn (q.v.) (Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 772). 7 children.

Hieronder die gegewens oor die LOOCK-familie
(p218)
Die van was oorspronklik LÜCKE.
Die Stamvader was Johan Christian (a2) * 1750 en het ± 1777 uit Berlyn,
Duitsland in Suid-Afrika aangekom en + Kuilsrivier, Stellenbosch 2.12.1833.
Die Stammoeder was Christina Wilhelmina NEL. Dr Hoge het bewys dat Johan
Lodewyk LOOCK in werklikheid a2b2 was. Daar ontbreek egter nog 'n seun onder
die kinders van Stamvader Johan Christian LOOCK en Christina Wilhelmina NEL,
naamlik Godlieb Daniël Hendrik * ca 1791 + "Windmeul", Bredasdorp 6.7.1868
(Meester Kaapstad Sterfkennis 4525/68) x Martha Susanna WESSELS (b2c2d4e5f6)
~ 5.12.1813. Die egpaar het 13 kinders gehad, onder andere die drie dogters
en seun wat met Petrus SWART (a1b3c3d1e1) se kinders getroud het.
Interessant dat die dogters van Godlieb Daniel Hendrik LOOCK hulle vader se
eerste naam weggelaat het by hulle kinders.

He came from Berlin.

• Children. http://www.heemkring.org.za/Lyste/STBDR.xls
Records the death of a child on 28/12/1789 at Stellenbosch and burial 30/12/1789 op de Clapmus Post. This seems to be Catharina Wilhelmina.

The order of children given at:-
Genealogies of Old South African Families - Geslacht-Register Der Oude Kaapsche Familien. - Vol 2 page 240 is as follows:-

1) Catharina Wilhelmina ~ 14 Sep 1783
2) Anna Elisabeth
3) Johanna Christina
4) Anna Catharina
5) Catharina Frederica
There is no mention of any sons in the above.

This clearly says Johan Lodewyk Loock was a2b2 ie the second born child.

Ergo new order which perfectly matches the dates:-
1) Catharina Wilhelmina ~ 14 Sep 1783
2) Johan Lodewyk
3) Anna Elisabeth
4) Johanna Christina
5) Anna Catharina
6) Catharina Frederica

By deduction the list at http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/person/Johan-Christiaan-Looch/52788931-16000176
appears correct.

Children with Christina Wilhelmina Looch (born Nel)
1) Catharina Wilhelmina Looch (1783 - ?)
2) Johan Lodewyk Looch (1785 - ?)
3) Anna Elizabeth Human (born Looch) (1787 - ?)
4) Johanna Christina Louw (born Looch) (1789 - ?)
5) Anna Catharina Looch (1790 - ?)
6) Catharina Frederika Minnaar (born Looch) (1792 - ?)
7) Elizabeth Jacoba Looch (1794 - ?)

http://www.geni.com/people/Johan-Heinrich-Loock/6000000014252491155
Has a son Johan Heinrich Loock.
I am convinced this is in error.
The Johan Heinrich Loock is probably born about 1755 and married Johanna Appolonia Alje and the remarrried to Henrietta Wilhelmina Baart.
Genealogies of Old South African Families - Geslacht-Register Der Oude Kaapsche Familien. - Vol 2 page 240.

I am further convinced that Johan Heinrich is not a son.

In 1803 he asked the government to be restored to his former position as superintendent at Clapmuts. ~ (1) 15.9.1782 Christina Wilhelmina Nel; (2) 7.8.1821 Jacoba Adriana v. d. Burg of the C., wid. Georg Jacob Wiehahn (q.v.) (Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 772). 7 children. One son, Johan Lodewyk, bapt. 1785 in the Lutheran Church, mentioned in G.R. as of unknown parents ~ 14.6.1807 Catharina Petronella Lingenvelder. One daughter, Elisabeth Jacoba, bapt. 3.8.1794, not mentioned in G.R. L. died 2.12.1833 at Stellenbosch at the age of 83. (GMR 1777-89; Rq. 1803: 66; G.R. nr. 558; Test. in Stellenbosch Arch., vol. 664: 5 and Test. O.C. 121: 123-24.)

- Dr. J. Hoge, Personalia of the Germans at the Cape, 1652-1806, Archives Year Book for South African History (Cape Town: Government Printer, Union of South Africa, 1946)

The above clearly records 7 children. I found eight. However Catharina Wilhelmina died young and is probably not included making it 7 living children.
ergo no Johan Heinrich.

Also
http://www.safrika.org/Names/PersonaliaL-R.htmll
Lücke, Johan Heinrich, Heesen Kassel, 1775
Once more he is not a son.

It does seem possible that Johan Heinrich Loock is in fact the father of Johan Christiaan Loock.

• General Comment. The date of 1821 is realistic as Georg Wiehaan died in 1819.

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
