Charlotta Elizabetha Dormehl
His second wife, married at Zeerust on 14 April 1892 when she was fifty-one and he sixty-three, and her own Death Notice 844 gives the rest: born Graaff-Reinet about October 1841, FARMER'S WIFE, father JACOB DORMEHL and mother UNKNOWN, dead at Driefontein in Groot Marico on 6 February 1902 aged 60 years 4 months, leaving ONE WAGON AND HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE worth £51 8s 0d and a will. THREE HUSBANDS — Jacob van Staden, then Matthys Roos, then Booysen — and SIX CHILDREN, two van Stadens and four Rooses, NOT ONE OF THEM A BOOYSEN. That is why the four children this archive once drew under her are not hers.
NO CHILDREN BY HIM. This archive drew his four children here for a month because it could name this marriage and not the other. She was fifty-one at the wedding; and her own 1902 death notice lists SIX children — two van Stadens and four Rooses — and not one Booysen.

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.
