However due to the location (the hot lowveld region was rife with malaria) no-one wanted to go there until Auguste Roberts (French Bob) discovered gold in Concession Creek in 20 June 1883. This discovery resulted in a gold rush to the area.

Magdalena Petronella CONRADIE (~5.8.1883)

Magdalena Petronella CONRADIE *30.5.1883, ~5.8.1883, is the child of Christiaan Gert CONRADIE and Magdalena Elizabeth GROVE according to the Richmond NGK baptism records. As far as I can tell there are no further baptisms recorded for her parents. In both her parent's death notices there is no mention of a Magdalena Petronella, only a Magdalena Elizabeth.

According to Magdalena Elizabeth CONRADIE's gravestone she was born on 29 May 1883 and not 30 May 1883.

Despite this slight inconsistency I have identifed the baptised Magdalena Petronella as Magdalena Elizabeth, known to the family as Tant Lenie.

Burial of a father
Burial of a mother

Birth: Anna Susanna CONRADIE

Sources consistent with *8.3.1835 are THERON - geslagsregister van Therons in Suid-Afrika and the Conradie - geslagsregister, the death notice and death registration form, and the baptism record (although this means that she was baptised at age 14 days). Only the gravestone mentions 8.3.1834.

Therefore we keep 1835 as the birth year.
