John Augustus Barry II

THE ENTRY HAS NOW BEEN READ, film 008119684 image 876, and every witness at his font is a KOLBE: “Gt: JOHN KOLBE, MARGARET KOLBE, AUGUSTA KOLBE” — the third name is the least certain of the three. The clerk writes the child JOHN AUGUST and the mother MARGARETWINA KOLBE. Read beside his brother’s font of the following year, where the godmother is CATHARINE SOPHIA MARIA KOLBER, it makes one point twice: the forenames this archive has spent the project calling BARRY NAMES are Kolbe names, standing at Kolbe godparents’ fonts. The eldest son on the 1915 notice, carrying his father's name exactly — which is why this archive calls the father John Augustus Barry I. His own documents call him simply John Barry, and that is the third man in this family the name has to be shared out between. His birth date does one more job than it looks: being HARD, off a register, it is what forces his brother James Henry's “about 1847” to move.

The Barrys

…The query re-surfaced him; it did not find him. He remains exactly what he was: an unresolved second William, indexed twice over to Graaff-Reinet and Dordrecht , eight years after the Burgersdorp baptism . On Henry Jaonas there is an argument, and it comes entirely out of figures this archive already held. John Augustus Barry II was born 13 March 1847 and baptised four weeks later — a documented date, off a register. James Henry Barry is carried in this archive as born "about 1847" , and that figure is not a register at all: it is an age worked back from his death at Barkly East on 23 June 1939. Two brothers cannot both be born in 1847 , and the approximate date is the one that has to give way.…

What changed

…Two other entries independently confirmed de Villiers on two of Jan Booijsen's sons, which strengthens the book against the death notice. And the relationship search on the father, queued as Question 13, returned a household: John Augustus Barry II had a wife and nine children this archive had never seen, including the Kolbe name carried into a fourth generation. The book was read, and it contradicted the death notice · Found A G2G answer named de Villiers 1893 as downloadable, so it was downloaded and read rather than taken on trust — which is the whole point of this archive, and it cut against yesterday's conclusion.…

What was taken back

…Moved down a generation — which is where the cousin marriage of 1924 needs her to be, and the archive had her in the wrong place while asserting it. → A document read past what it says 13 Sep 2026 “The 1915 notice named eight children and the archive listed nine” Two men on that list — John Augustus Barry II and George Augustus Barry — had no page at all, while a ninth name stood in their place. All three fixed together; the build now refuses to publish a household naming somebody who does not exist. → The archive's own working 13 Sep 2026 “The ancestor chart, every wife one generation too high” The chart put each man's wife in his mother's box.…

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.
