Hello Ian,

I had a look at this problem by checking what records I have copies of
here.

First I checked the baptisms of the two children that De Villiers /
Pama lists for Jacobus van Eden and his wife named as Regina Christina
Deetlof.

Both baptisms give her name just as Regina Christina - no surname.

Church Register - Stellenbosch Congregation, Palmkronieke facsimile CD

Maria Lisabeth, d'Vader Jacobus van Eden, d'Moeder Regina Christina,
getuygen, Ary van Eden, met Maria Rossar, 19 April 1711

Katrina, d'Vader Jacobus van Eden, Moeder Regina Kristina,
getuygen Hendrik Loots met Lijsbeth Jansen, 24 July 1712

There does not seem to be any record of the marriage which presumably
took place about 1710 to judge from the baptismal date of the first
child. The marriage register of Drakenstein does not survive from this
period so there is nothing unusual in this.

To complicate matters further, the muster roll at the end of 1711
(VC49) lists them as:

Jacobus van Eeden & Regina Claasina van Arentsdorp

(this is of course a copy of a copy - see my notes here:

http://www.eggsa.org/transcriptions/monsterrollen/mr_intro.html

But, a deceased estate account (boedelrekening) does exist for the
couple (Cape Archives, MOOC 13/1/1, 62, date 1715).

This lists the couple as:

wijlen Jacobus van Eeden en desselfs huijsvrouw Regi[na ]Jonkers,

the late Jacobus van Eeden and his wife Regina Jonkers

I checked further and Jan Andriessen, called de Jonker, was married to
Lijsbet or Elisabeth Jans. He died circa 1698 and she remarried
Hendrik Loots. You will notice that this couple are the witnesses at
the baptism of the second child of Jacobus van Eden and Regina
Christina.

This seems to indicate pretty surely that Regina was the daughter of
Jan de Jonker.

I have put the family with the evidence I collected here:

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.
