George Augustus Kolbe

…What was searched → Why this archive exists In 1915 a man at Barkly East filled in his own mother's death notice. Where it asked for her parents' names, he wrote: "Father: Kolbe, thinks James was christian name . Mother: Unknown ." His grandfather was George Augustus Kolbe — who married at sixteen on a sworn lie in Shoreditch, sailed on the Nautilus in 1819 as an 1820 Settler , preached across the Orange River, and named a Karoo farm after the Württemberg his own father had left. His grandmother was Margaret Downing of London.…

…The 1820 Settler hypothesis does not survive arithmetic. He was born 8 June 1819 . The settler fleets sailed from late 1819 and reached Algoa Bay from April 1820.

Inferred The likeliest reading is that a true settler story attached itself to the wrong branch.…

…A KOLBE of thirty-five dead in the CONCENTRATION CAMP CEMETERY AT VOLKSRUST between 1899 and 1901 — the first camp death to touch any surname in this archive, against a question that had been answered “searched, and not found” on a different name. And MARGARET DOWNING KOLBE, born 1899, buried in Natal in 1979: George Augustus Kolbe married Margaret Downing at Shoreditch in 1819, and eighty years later a girl was christened with the whole of it. Then eGGSA corrected something published this morning. Searching the British press for this family returned almost nothing and that was written down as a limit of the medium. It is a limit of the COUNTRY.…

…The woman wears a bustle and cuirass bodice; the man a full beard and watch chain — costume of about 1875–1885. Fatal George Kolbe died in 1844 and Margaret Downing in 1867. Neither can be in a photograph taken in the late 1870s. Probably their son George Augustus Kolbe (b. 1836) and his wife — the repeated forename is the obvious route by which the caption went astray. → Kathleen Mary Barry (Booysen) Listed in the tree as a sister of Catherine Maria Sophia “Kathleen” Barry, also married to a Booysen, with no dates.
