Thanks (to Shaun Wallace) very much for that tip. I found a birth register, differently written up to the one Louis Heyman has uploaded here, but providing the same information, except that the birth name spelling is more clearly Bregchie Elizabeth. The mother is Amalia Leonora Viviers (is Viviers here just a middle name and is her surname van Vuuren as per two of the witnesses??) Here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK6-MSW1-J?i=133&cat=960849 Birth name: Bregchie Elizabeth DoB 27 July 1885
Birth place: Doornhoek, Beaufort West Mother's name; Amalia Leonora Viviers Father's Name: Johannes Nicolaas Theron Getuigen: Philippus Cornelis van Vuuren, Cora Harriet van Vuuren, Petrus Jacobus Visser, Jacomina Maria Theron
