George Macnamara Brunette's father was George Brunette, a Lieutenant in His Majesty's 2nd Ceylon Regiment who on 27/12/1805 married Anne Macnamara (born around 1787, died at age 55 on 11/12/1842 in Columbo, Ceylon). She was the daughter of Colonel Matthew Macnamara (born around 1761, died 31/1/1824 in Monaghyr (sic) at age 62). Lt. George Brunette must have died shortly after the birth of GMB because his mother then married James William Truter (born Jacobus Wilhelmus Truter in Cape Town on 18/8/1782), a captain in the 2nd Ceylon Regiment. The wedding was on 3/9/1808 at Jaffna, Ceylon. JW Truter was promoted to major in the same regiment on 12/8/1819. He died 7/4/1821 in Ceylon and is buried at the Dutch Church, Galle, Ceylon. JW Truter and Anne Manamara had five children, two of whom moved to the Cape: Anna Amelia Truter who married Edward Fredrick Wylde son of John Wylde, Chief Justice of Cape Colony, and James Lionel Truter who, after an unsuccessful stint in the diamond mines, ended up as a magistrate in Calvinia. It appears that George Macnamara Brunette must have come out to the Cape by himself, followed later by his half-brother and sister.

• General Comment. Maria's Second Husband - James Lionel Truter
According to the will of Daniel Johannes van Ryneveld (Maria's father) Maria and James had at least one son, James Lionel Truter.
It is uncertain if this family is any relation to Sir John Truter (Johannes Andries Truter) who succeeded Willem Stephanus van Ryneveld as Chief Justice.
There was a Truter who was a Magistrate. On his death his wife was reluctantly obliged to sell her silver, amongst which was The Loving Cup of Stellenbosch. Cecil Rhodes bought this cup at a sale in 1903. Seeing that it was family heirloom he sent it to Daniel Johannes van Ryneveld, Mayor of Graaff Reinet saying that he was probably unaware that it had passed out of the family. The cup passed into the possession of his grandson Reginald Clive Berrange van Ryneveld of Cape Town and then to Tony (AJ) van Ryneveld.

James married Maria Josina Magdalena Van Ryneveld, daughter of Daniel Johannes Van Ryneveld and Magdalena Johanna De Wit, on 8 Oct 1840 in Paarl, Cape Province, South Africa. (Maria Josina Magdalena Van Ryneveld was born on 9 Apr 1814 in Stellenbosch, Cape Province, South Africa ² ^,3 ^,4, christened on 24 Apr 1814 in Stellenbosch, Cape Province, South Africa ¹ and died in 1873 in , Cape Colony, 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.
