William is likely to have been born in Yorkshire, since James did not leave for Natal until 1850; or did James marry into the York Settlers' community?

One source gives offspring for William Foord and Hester Swanepoel: 1. James Jogemius; 2. Willem Abraham; 3. Willem Christian Benjamin; 4. Joseph Johannes Ignatius; 5. Markus Albertus; 6. Hessie Catharina; 7. Maria Dorothea; 8. Johannes; 9. Johanna Adriana; 10. Gerhardus McGregor; 11. Watter; 12. Susannah Wilhelmina; 13. Stefanus Jacobus; 14. Benjamin; 15. Harry Neville; and 16. Wessel Cornelius. But it omits Cornelis Jacobus Karel Foord b. 5 Oct 1863. I feel that some of these are problematic. [Ian McArthur May 2015]
