  [S637] WEBSITE, https://thecasualobserver.co.za/port-elizabeth-yore-fort-frederick/#. William Gardner, Ensign in the Royal Garrison Company, and later Lieutenant, married Johanna Magdalena Oosthuizen, widow of Jacobus Andreas Rudolph. She married Gardner, himself a widower with children, in Uitenhage on 24th February 1817. The marriage could not have been successful because in November 1818, Gardner advertised that he was not responsible for his wife's debts. Five years later, William Gardner was given permission to leave the Colony on a ship bound for Buenos Aires. The innumerable land transactions relating to South End and Humewood which mention the "widow Gardner", thus refer to the former Miss Oosthuizen/Mrs Rudolph.
