Elia Louw was die seun van Jacobus Hendrik Louw Nel en Martha Jacoba Deetlefs.
Martha
Jacoba gave birth to 14 children, but only 11 survived into adulthood. One
child died young and a set of twins died in infancy. (https://www.geni.com/people/Maria-Petronella-Wallace/6000000017735562736?through=6000000018025990889)
Apparently the
youngest of JHLN's children, Elie, caused an uproar in the family by using the
spelling 'Nel' on his mother's headstone (this according to Anton Nell). Elie
himself also used the spelling 'Nel' in later life and all of his children use
this spelling. (Geni)
