The husband is Hermanus ; the 1851 godfather is his son , which this page already said in the line above without following it. The 1840 notice is the odd one out.…

The difference is that somebody in this family cared about the second one. And the same page gives the other half of the pattern. Her son was baptised Willem Hermanus Pietersen in 1809; the 1851 Graaff-Reinet register writes the surname Pieterzen , twice, in the hand that wrote Booyzen three lines above. The Pietersens changed nothing either. What the name means A patronymic Booysen is Dutch and means "son of Booy" . Booy is itself a short form of Boudewijn — the Dutch form of Baldwin , from Germanic bald ("bold") and win ("friend").…
