Hi Gerda
Had a look at your problem but I can't even translate the words you have transcribed.
What does 'Pamela' mean? This name only became popular in fairly recent times so it
unlikely to be a person.

" en Pamela Mitsgaders de opstal [uncl]
...................... together with the structures ......

Lenings Plaats genaamd de <unclear>
Loan Farm named ....................

Linde's Kraal gelegen aan de Grote
Linde's Kraal situated near the Great

Vischrivier in dit District."
Fish River in this District.
