Dr C H Marais and J N M van Mameren were married in Holland. She was the daughter of a university professor and hailed from Amsterdam. On returning to South Africa in October 1919, Marais bought a practice in Murraysburg. Their first born was a son, six months old when he died suddenly whilst his father was “on district”. The couple left Murraysburg and went to Koffyfontein. Confinements were extremely difficult for her. She gave birth to a further two children, is thought to have suffered puerperal depression; and committed suicide by drinking poison and jumping into the local river. He brought his mother, Ouma Marais/Albertyn from Humansdorp to care for the children. Depressed, he turned to alcohol; sustained a severe motorcar accident and was admitted to Kimberley Hospital. Here, on a Christmas Day, he met Hildegaard Pauline Jane Oertel, earning from her the nick-name Noël in the process. During the 1939-1945 war, the family moved to Robert’s Heights, Pretoria, and remained there. Ouma Marais/Albertyn died in Krugersdorp.

Passport issued to Mr & Mrs Cornelius Hermanus Marais, British born colonial subject, by the Acting British Consul, Rotterdam on 3 October 1919; and the couple passed in transit through London on 12 October 1919.
