The documents

…Left: a boy of about seven in a pleated tunic and wide collar — Dirk Jacobus Pretorius (b. 8 June 1902). Centre: Petrus Jacobus Pretorius (1878–1941), the stock farmer. Right: Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry (1880–1961), in a high-necked blouse with her hair dressed in a pompadour. Front: a small girl of about four — Anna Johanna Maria Pretorius (b. 3 Oct 1905). Inferred The hairstyle and blouse date the picture to about 1908–1912 ; the children's ages narrow it to roughly 1909 .

Open questions

…Two children of the first marriage stood godparent to the first child of the second. Where to look: Her own dates and parentage; the marriage itself, now bounded to 1863–January 1870; and whether Izak (1864) is hers too. Note and do not chase: Pretorius is also the surname of Anna Johanna Maria Pretorius, who married into this family in 1924 — but it is among the commonest surnames in the Cape and a coincidence is not a link. § 8 · Low priority Extract what is left of the photographs and biographies. — DONE.

A dossier is every mention of a person anywhere in this archive, gathered automatically after the site is built and linked back to the page it appears on. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual — where two people share a name they share this page, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Nothing on a dossier page is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.
