…So of the three figures the archive had, the marriage register is the outlier : it gives his age as 22 in December 1879, when he was 28 . His 1905 death registration says 55 , which is right within a year. The 1879 entry is wrong by six years. And he was named for his godfather The witnesses are Willem Hermanus Pieterzen , Maria Catharina Magdalena Potgieter and Xaverius Hermanus Pieterzen . (The archive scan corrects this archive's earlier reading of the surname as Pietersen — see below; the first given name, earlier read as Iwerus , is still not certain.) Johanna Catharina Mountjoy's half-brothers were Pieterzens — the sons of Anna Catharina Sleer by her first marriage.…

The entry, with a pencil cross beside it: "James Montjoy — Met · Anna Catharina Slier, weduwe van Harmanus Pieterze[n]" What it does not say, and that is the point This archive went to this register expecting an origin . Cape marriage entries of this date routinely record where a party came from, and this very page does it repeatedly — three couples in the right-hand column are entered "beide van Uitenhage" . Against James Montjoy's name there is a long ruled dash and nothing else .…
