If you are looking for a birth in South Africa in 1849 - then you need to look at church records. What denomination were they most likely members of? He does not appear in the Baptisms in the Anglican church in George. If they were methodist you will probably need to contact the Cory Library in Grahamstown to do a look up. Catholic records you need to contact the Catholic diocese directly.

If she died before the establishment of Statutory death records (1894) you may not find any records. Burial records are few and far between.

I dont have any information but looking at the names of the kids in each family may assist. Families typically named their children after their grandparents - so the eldest son and 2nd eldest daughter were named after the fathers parents and the eldest daughter and 2nd son were named after the mothers parents. So possibly not brothers but probably related

As Namibia was a South Africa Protectorate at the time the information may be in the Cape Town archives, you would need to apply to them to verify that.
