Marriagex1709 state she was - van de Caap therefore born there ! Not Batavia and not Netherlands.

One other item which does not look right to me (if I may), is the mother given for Cecilia Kemp (Swerisse), SM/PROG, being Jacoba Jacobus van Vliet .

From what I can see, Jacob Jacobsz van Vliet was actually Cecilia's husband from 10/11/1709 at Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.
