Marriage of Gert Hendrik Prinsloo to Martha Roux (nee Mercer.

[iwccc]

Can anyone help me find the marriage of Gert Hendrik Prinsloo to Martha Roux (nee Mercer). This is a second marriage for Martha but I cannot find any details of her second marriage to Gert. Gert was born in 1897 and the marriage would have been in
South Africa.   I think Marth's first marriage to Jan Adries Roux Jason 7th October. 1913.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Martha's first husband died in 1925.
 She had a child (who died) to Mr. Prinsloo in 1928.
So if there was a marriage - perhaps between 1925 and 1928
Maybe there wasn't a marriage, or maybe the date is just not available online at the moment.

Thanks Neale  1961--- at least now I have a corridor of dates from which to work. I appreciate your help with this.. The children all seem to have taken the name Prinsloo and  I believe Gert and Martha went on to adopt a boy who was also used the name Prinsloo. Could I ask where you found out that Martha had a child who died?   Perhaps there is some way to trace children who were adopted and find out their date of birth.  Thanks again

This is the death of their baby daughter in 1928.

Thanks Pompon, I appreciate your help.  I'm still wondering if Martha married Gert Prinsloo or not.  On deceased baby's death certificate she is referred to as Martha Prinsloo - so it appears she was probably married or at least used Gert's surname-- and yet we cannot find their marriage certificate.Still searching.  Thanks again
