Biography
Born in Cape Town, he is one of a number of persons named De Kock active in theatre between 1825 and 183*. However, it is unclear whether the individuals referred to variously as Johannes Jakobus de Kock, J.J. de Kock, J. de Kock or J. de Kock C. zoon by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 231) are all the same person, as Bosman suggests, or are possibly only relations.
