In 20 January 1781, Jan Jacob Serrurier (“Magister”) who, in 1779, arrived from Holland in the Cape aboard the “Mars” applied for repatriation. This he did again on 7 February 1786, requesting that his wife and daughter accompany him and that he been allowed to take 20,000 rixdollars with him. In 1784, he, together with Christoffel Brandt and Jan Hendrick Eckard had purchased three houses and erven in Table Valley adjoining the Old Hospital.

It has to be said that the above is transcribed from printed texts of some vintage. I am informed that detailed research has been done by several members of the Serrurier family descended from the original South African progenitor. However, I have not had access to this material.

He bought “Groot Constantia” in 1778 from Jacobus van der Spuy for 53,000 gulden and sold it “in fairly poor condition” 7 months later to Hendrik Cloete owner of Nooitgedacht, Stellenbosch for 60,000 gulden.

He was granted permission to manumit a slave, named January, in 1760 on payment of security to the Burgerraad.

In 1768, he was sold two houses and erven (in Block 10, Nos.1&2) from which to conduct a wine business.

Together with 7 others, he erected a blanket factory following an altercation with the then “fiskaal”, Jan Boers.

He was granted discharge as Captain of the 1st Company of Burgers in 1772 following a fractured right arm (with some resultant dysfunction) and on the grounds of gout and “progressing years”. He became an influential member of die Burgerraad, being appointed in Boer’s stead by the Prince of Orange in 1784.

The family lived at 26 Longmarket Street and (anecdotally) at the corner of Venus (later Queen Victoria) and Wales Streets. He remained at the Groote Kerk for 44 years, and was revered for his powerful preaching skills. Duties of historical note include : burying Governor Tulbagh in 1771; conducting the inaugural service of an enlarged Groote Kerk and preaching the first sermon from the magnificent pulpit built by the cabinet-maker Graaf between August 1788 and December 1789 to a design by Anton Anreith (later this pulpit was to stand protected but in situ whilst the church was demolished and a new built between 1835 and 1841); the dedication service of the Dutch Reformed Strooidakkerk, Paarl in 28 April 1805, and the pulpit in the Sendinggestig, Long St., CT.

Battle was enjoined in September 1831 and finalised in arch 1832. She claimed that she was entitled to “a just and correct aacount f the administration held by him, the said Johann Meyer, properly roved with vouchers ………”. It transpired from the codicil that he was executor of the will, administrator of the estate and guardian of the minor; and “held in aforesaid capacity until her majority, or when she shall enter into marriage or other approved institutions in life ………” monies and property for which he had fully accounted on 22 September 1828 CSC 2/1/1/19.

Though only nine children are referred to in most texts, 15 children listed (1.2.11.1-1.2.11.14) above appear in the baptismal records of the Groote Kerk as being the off-spring of Daniel Frederik Berrangé and his wife Magdalena Elisabeth Serrurier. There is no record there of Susanna Maria. In the case of two children (*), the name Berrangé was included in the Baptismal Register as though a First/Christian name. I believe that Jan (1.2.11.10a) died a neonate; and Jan Frederik (1.2.11.10b) was born subsequently and thus named differently.

Abraham de Smidt (AdS) was one time owner of Groote Schuur, an artist of note and later Surveyor-General of the Cape Colony. One daughter married the prominent attorney J H Redelinghuys who, in 1862 took over AdS’s home, “Sea Point House” renaming it “Weltevreden”. AdS produced 3 daughters, Dora, Susanna and Johanna. Renowned for their culture and good taste, “Weltevreden” remained the home of the 3 sisters and a centre of Cape society until 1931 when the last sister died. The house was raised to the ground and a cinema built in its stead. In 1875 the De Smidt’s were seasonal tenants of a certain L A Serrurier of “Wave Crest”, Sea Point. In those days, it was the custom for the wealthy to move (literally lock, stock ’n’ barrel) to the Sea Point coast - “wij gaan nu achter toe” - in the hot summer months. Here they either already owned bijou residences which stood closed up for most of the year, or they rented accommodation from permanent residents. As an extended family, the Serruriers had substantial property interests in and about the Green Point, Sea Point and Fresnaye area.

However, there is strong circumstantial evidence to support my hypothesis. The Death Certificate of Lodewyk (Louis) Snr states his father as being John Frederick Serrurier and mother Charlotte Serrurier. The Death Certificate of Frederick Serrurier states his father as being Jan Frederick and mother Deah Fredricka Mathews. Estate papers of Jan(John) Frederik state that the only relatives living at the time of his death were : Jan Frederick S., Cornelia Eliana S., Magdalena Elisabeth S., Johannes Petrus S., Jan S and a Louis S, ~ surely Lodewyk S Snr. Oral history has it that there were at least 3 brothers and a sister, thus Ludewyk (Louis) Snr b 1815, Samuel (“Alexander”) b 1818, Johannes Petrus (“John Peter”) b 1823. The relationships are borne out in the Liquidation and Distribution Accounts of the Estate of Ludewyk Snr (bequest to Henry Lawrence, “son of Samuel”) and of Johannes Petrus (“John Peter”), where the spouse of James Alexander Yule Serrurier is stated as being his closest relative. The original will has yet to be found. The oral history relating to the sister is as follows: Unknown Female ~ said to have been an extremely attractive woman. Married beneath her social standing. He, a basket-maker, had his little factory in the basement of the St. Stephen’s Church, the “Old Theatre” or “komediehuis” in Riebeeck Square, Cape Town. Later, she went on to live with Judge Denys of the OVS “after whom Deneysville is named” (sic). She produced 2 daughters : a daughter who married a “tobacco man”; and another daughter who married a tug-master known as “Captain”. The latter couple produced a daughter who reputedly married into wealth. An extraordinary feature of researching this family is the little evidence for marriages having been solemnised in church. Certainly, only 7 have been found in the registers of the Dutch Reformed Church, Caper Town. 1.2.5.1 Lodewyk (Louis) Serrurier Snr b April 1816 d 17 May 1899 MOOC 6/9/388 No.1419 110/653 Vulcan Cottage, Sea Point(first) m 26 October 1839 Mary-Ann McCarthy (b 1822 d May 1845) In the DRC Marriage Register 1804-1872, the name Serrurier as in Lodewyk is spelt “Serrunje.”

He made a fortune at the time of the Great Trek. His extensive business premises stood on the site of the current Supreme Court, 43-47 Keeromstraat, Cape Town. He left his business to his son, Charles George. Known for his parsimonious ways, he gave his nephew, James Alexander Yule enough money for him to buy a suit to wear to “Charlie’s” funeral. On one occasion was witnessed by James Alexander Yule as having dropped his wallet in the street outside Standard Bank. On having it returned to him by JAYS, the same was rewarded with “a tanner” (six-pence).

Charles George Serrurier, in business with James Tennant (Tennant & Serrurier), had his property (a subdivision of “Zorgvliet Farm”, Rosebank), attached 16 May 1884. Hugely complicated (and seemingly fraudulent) transactions had preceded this, involving the taking of a bond on the property with one Dirk Gysberk Eksteen, which, days after signing, was ceded to “sponsors” The South African Loan Mortgage & Mercentile Agency Ltd and Willem August Lippert respectively. Neither appear to have been serviced and Lippert called in the loan . The outstanding debt was appraised as £111/8/6 on an estate of £1673/18/6. He was finally declared insolvent on 15 December 1887, the order being signed by J C B Serrurier, Registrar of the Supreme Court. MOIB 2/2006 816 Charles George Serrurier was wealthy having inherited his father’s wagon-maker’s business and (indirectly) part of his fortune. Said to have “never worked a day in his life”, he is reputed to have been very generous and was known “From The Cape to the Zambezi” for his friendliness and open-handedness.

Henry Lawrence (Laurence) Serrurier and his wife Emily Caroline lived at 3 Hem(m)ing St., Kimberley when they died. However, they left behind them Lot 2 Block 51 in Fraserburg as part of their meagre estates. This had a book value of £800 having been bonded to a solicitor in Fraserburg, one Daniel Mills Dyason {DMD}, for two amounts: £400 and £375 respectively. He, in turn, had ceded the bonds to the Standard Bank as security against an overdraft. By 1928, Fraserburg had been subjected to several years of drought, with a subsequent downturn in the value of properties. The Master of the Supreme Court tried to have the executor of Emily Caroline Serrurier’s estate [her long-suffering son-in-law E T C Holmes {ETCH}] settle the estate. He declined because of the low property value. The bond holder {DMD} tried the same with the same result; and the Standard Bank was equally persistent of DMD. By December 1929, the outstanding debt on the Estate was £849/13/5, with the property having a current estimated value of £150. On 6 April 1931, DMD was sequestrated. He promptly had a heart attack and died on 25 April 1931. The property was sold by the Standard Bank at an auction on 4 January 1932 to one, Pieter Andries Stephanus le Roux for £150. The Henry Lawrence (Laurence) Serrurier and wife, Emily Caroline, estates were finalised on 25 March 1932, with death duties of £161 being waived by the state. All costs other than those of the bond had been carried by the offspring up until that time who felt a “moral responsibility to settle things”. In the General Directory of South Africa (1894-1895) HLS is listed as a butcher and general dealer. There remains a Serrurier Street in Fraserburg, mute testimony to his passage.

His wife's family, the Lamberts, are reputed to have lost title to their farm at Palmietfontein during the Second Anglo-Boer War. Certainly it is known that on 18 February 1901, there was heavy fighting between Boer forces and the Royal Irish Rifles (2nd Battalion) at Palmietfontein when on railway patrol from Natal Spruit. Late in his life, HSL fulfilled a long-held ambition to restore the farm to the family. This he did, but soon fell ill and died but months thereafter. Palmietfontein No.7, in the district of Germiston, has a particular place in history of motor sport in South African. Louis Herbert and Vera Serrurier hasd 5 sons and a daughter. He three eldest sons enrolled in the armed forces at the being of World War II, Allen Leslie Serrurier under the non de plume of Allen Leslie. The four Serrurier brothers, Jack, Louis, Allen, Henry and Robert, were enthralled with motorcycles and motorcycle racing. Louis Serrurier was the only one who, in addition, pursued motorcar racing. With the likes of Buddy Fuller, "the boys" laid down South Africa's first dirt track motorcycling speedway at "Old Barn" near Swartkoppes. This they later moved onto their father's farm as they wanted to develop a training circuit for motor racing enthusiasts. A 3.8 mile track made up of the runways of the Palmietfontein aerodrome near Johannesburg hosted the 1956 Rand Grand Prix, won by the Ferrari of Peter Whitehead. 1.2.5.2.1.2.1 Jack Lambert Serrurier b 3 June 1919 d 15 May 1952
