DESCRIPTION HEUGH, WILLIAM FLEMING. DEATH NOTICE.
STARTING 18850000
ENDING 18850000

Although the Uitenhague book says 1883 the death notice says 1885. I believe them to be the same person. I could not finally prove this.

The first minister of the newly erected church (at Humansdorp) was the Rev. William Fleming Heugh, father of Messrs. Peter and William Heugh, now residing in Uitenhage. Mr. Heugh, who had hut just com pleted his examinations for church work, accepted the call, and was ordained by the Rev. Alexander Smith in October, 1854, and continued his minis- trations at Humansdorp with credit to himself and with benefit to the district up to within two or three years of his death, which took place in 1883.

• General Comment. Pieter Johannes Heugh had a partner William Fleming. This is almost certainly the origin of William Fleming Heugh's Christian name.

• General Comment. 25 Feb 2014 I haven't finally proven he was a son. His death record will prove this one way or the other.

5 Mar 2014 Now finally proven.

• General Comment. The town was named Humansdorp, and building operations were commenced as soon as the erven were sold, and among the first structures taken in hand were the Dutch Reformed Church and pastorage. Mr. Human, Mr. H. Potgieter, and Mr. H. J. Moolman, who at the time were elders of the church, were nominated as the building committee, and a lot of Cape boys were hired to quarry stone and make bricks and cart them to the site of the church. Two masons (James O'Driscoll and Scheel Dantje) were engaged to build the walls, and Mr. John Smith (grandfather of the late proprietor of the 'Farmers' Friend Hotel) and his son Henry were to do the woodwork and painting. The church was duly built, and opened in 1854. The building contained accommodation for 450 people, and the average attendance for the lirst few years is given at ???, the total number of parishioners being 2,000.

The First minister of the newly-erected church was the Rev. William Fleming Heugh, father of Messrs. Peter and William Heugh, now residing in Uitenhage. Mr. Heugh, who had but just completed his examinations for church work, accepted the call, and was ordained by the Rev. Alexander Smith in October, 1854, and continued his ministrations at Humansdorp with credit to himself and with benefit to the district up to within two or three years of his death, which took place in 1883.

Mr. Heugh was succeeded by the Rev. P. A. Groenewald. who in turn was succeeded in 1893 by the Rev. B. B. Keet. Mr. Keet died in 1904, when the Rev. J. D. Horak was appointed minister.

So by inference Antonio was born about 1825 and Peter was born about 1800

Saturday 20 November 1847

Died here this morning at 7 o clock, Isabella Jane, who was the only surviving daughter of Hugh HAMILTON Esq of Greenock, N.B., and wife of Anthony, fourth son of Peter HEUGH Esq of this place. Port Elizabeth 20th Nov 1847

There are three references to four sons and at least two to three sons.
There have to be at least four sons.
I have therefore added a fourth son. As yet unknown Heugh but I suspect he is Rev. William Fleming Heugh named after Petrus Johannes's partner William Fleming

William married Rosa Elizabeth Granger, daughter of Robert Granger and Elizabeth, on 16 Nov 1852 in Cape Town, Cape Province, South Africa. (Rosa Elizabeth Granger was born on 3 Apr 1833 in London, London, England, christened on 8 May 1833 in Islington, London, England, died on 10 Sep 1887 in Humansdorp, Eastern Cape, South Africa and was buried in Humansdorp, Eastern Cape, South Africa.)

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.
