Help Needed: Ancestry of Cecilia Claressa Thebeau Thibault

Tristan9881

I am reaching out for assistance in tracing the lineage of my 5th great-grandmother, Cecilia Claressa Thebeau Thibault. I am particularly interested in discovering her parents and any siblings she may have had.

Here are the details I have so far:

• Name: Cecilia Claressa Thebeau Thibault
• Birth: 19 November 1798, possibly in Cape Town
• Death: 22 September 1850 in Beaufort West, Cape Province, South Africa

Cecilia Claressa first married John Harris on 24 July 1830 in Beaufort West, Cape Colony, South Africa. They had a child named Sarah Jane Harris. She later married my 5th great-grandfather, Petrus Frederik Weilbach, although I am unsure of the date and location of their marriage.

Petrus Frederik Weilbach was born around 1790 in Københavns, Denmark, and passed away around 1832 in Cape Colony, South Africa. Together, they had children named Petrus Gerhardus Frederik Weilbach and Clarissa Fredrika Weilbach (Harris) Murray. I am also uncertain if they had any other children.

Any information or guidance on how to find records related to Cecilia Claressa's parents and possible siblings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ashlee C.
