Margaretha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Mary Kolbe

His wife, married 1846. Daughter of the 1820 Settler — and the reason the Kolbe name runs through the Booyzens. Her own DEATH NOTICE 1291, filed by her son R. P. Barry at Barkly East in May 1915, THREE YEARS after she died, gives her age as 84, her nationality as AFRIKANDER OF EUROPEAN EXTRACTION, her father as “Kolbe, thinks James was Christian name” and her mother as UNKNOWN. She died in R. P. Barry’s house at Manorowen and left NOTHING — no movable property, no immovable, estate Nil, no will. And she names NINE children where her husband’s notice names eight. The ninth is WILLIAM.

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.
