Son of Daniel Marthinus and Maria Johanna Elizabeth le Roux (born du Plessis).

Septimus (called Seppie for short) le Roux was the seventh son to be borne from this marriage - hence the name Septimus). Septimus was born in Krugersdorp Transvaal Province of South Africa on 23 July 1924. Septimus stayed with his parents in Krugersdorp before enlisting, was single, never married and had no children. All the Le Roux children apparently attended the St Ursula's Convent School, which was situated right opposite their family home in Krugersdorp.
