Dordrecht
Where this side of the family married, and where its in-laws lived. Hercules Johannes Mountjoy married Maria Sophia van Niekerk here on 8 October 1888, aged 22 — a year before the 1889 font at Barkly Oost. James John Mountjoy and Maria Louisa Bertha Kumm gave Dordrecht as their place of last marriage too, on two death notices filed at Barkly East fifty years later. And it is where Maria Sophia’s mother died, at her own house, in December 1902.
