Izak David Vorster

Notes:

His birth certificate indicates: son of Johannes Christiaan Vorster and Margaretha Johanna du Plessis, Witnesses on the birth certificate is: Isaak David du plessis, Hester Venter, J.P. or I.D. Vorster and Gerbreg Elizabeth Potgieter. Note the spelling of Isaak. Information is not from the original register but from a re-written register. He was the oldest of thirteen children. Voorgenoemd Hantum is mentioned. It indicates possibly a place name in the Colesberg district. In Calvina presently is a congregation called Calvina-Hantam. The registers of Calvina, Clanwilliam, Swartland and Tulbagh indicates nothing of Izak David.

Initial research showed an Izak David Vorster, born 10 September 1846, the same birth date as the son of Johannes Christiaan Vorster, whom was married to a Aletta Sophia Venter. Later research showed also an Izak David Vorster married to an Anna Sophia Johanna du Plessis. It was also indicated on this marraige certificate on 24 September 1877, that this Izak David Vorster was a widow at the age of 31 years. Going back 31 years brings us up to 1846, the birth date of Izak David Vorster. Using this information it was concluded that Izak David Vorster's first wife was Aletta Sophia Venter.

Very little information is accumilated about Izak David to date. He never had a will and no estate was left behind. This is possible also the reason why no death certificate can be obtained. Though his death date can be calculated as after 1895 as his last son, Jan Adriaan Vorster was born on 9 February 1892 and is about three years old according to a photo of Izak David Vorster with Anna Sophia du Plessis and Jan Adriaan Vorster. He possibly died during the Anglo boer war and was burried in Colesberg, Cape Province.
