II · Two houses, one shield
JoostedexterLombardsinister
the shield divides per pale at the centre; the husband's arms dexter, the wife's sinister (CAP-MAR-001 sect.1, Fox-Davies ch. 33)
dexter · Jooste — the line surname (Joost / Joosten)
sinister · Lombard — G2 — Maria Magdalena Lombard, m. Ewald Cronjé Jooste 1955
The husband's house takes the dexter half, the wife's the sinister — the marshalling of a marriage. Where the record holds a house's arms as established they are painted in their colours. Until then they are drawn, not painted — the heralds' own working register, with each colour written in the heralds' short letters (or · gold, ar · silver, gu · red, az · blue, sa · black) — and a creature is named in writing where its drawing has not yet been taken from a period plate. A plain field with no arms named is open by design, not empty by neglect.
III · What only the family can tell
Lombard's parents. The record holds Maria Magdalena Lombard's birth and marriage; her parents, their places and anything kept from her side are not yet in it.
The estate. Ewald Cronjé died on 21 October 2005: his estate file is with the Master's office and is not online; anything the family holds from it is the record's source.
