Elenor Marguerite Gous (Gauch) 
Elenor was born on September 6th, 1951. Elenor's father was Prof Sarel Jacobus Gouws and her mother was Marguerite Tredoux Martens. Her maternal grandparents were Ds. Jan (Tommie) Thomas Martens and Eleanor Martin. She has a brother named Jan. She is the younger of the two children.General Notes
Now refers to herself as Gauch (meaning Gauch-proper pronounciation of Gous/Gauch a Latyn word
meaning 'the man is joyful' ; Andre Gauch coming to the Cape of Good Hope murdered by a Bekker.
My grandfather Jan Thomas Martens named 'Tommy the Dutch Reformed Minister was married to Eleanor Ann Martin.
They had three daughters:
Christina or nickname Crystel (late) married to Marthinus Oosthuizen who has a daughter with the same name who is a director. The other child Jan is Cerebralpaulsy; due to Christel who had some illness during pregnancy. I think German measles.
The other sister is Joan Martens who still lives- very frail at
Jefreysbay Old age home. She adopted two daughters before having her own/named Marguerite.
Joan married Flippie Retief. If you go in the Website of DAMESFONTEIN /farm/farmmuseum at Graaff-Reinet you will find it very interesting.
This was all done up by Marguerite now married to Tiefie Wolfaardt.
The third and oldest sister was my mother Marguerite Tredoux Martens a Primary school teacher married to my father Sarel Jacobus Gous later Prof at the Department of Education at UPE. He comes from the Gous -
family from Kuruman. She had two children: myself Eleanor Marguerite Gous(married twice to M J Stencel and divorced) and my brother Jan Thomas Gerard Gous an
retired accountant who lives in Pretoria Sunnyside in a small bacholar flat.
M J Stencel has remarried a long time ago. I am still single.
I have one son Terence Stencel living in London United Kingdom.
I have photographs of Philip Martens and his wives and children.
Also a photograph of the Uncles unknown to Marthinette.
