Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry

…By 1908 all four children were adults, two of them married women. The archive put them under the marriage it could name rather than the marriage that could have produced them. → A document read past what it says 13 Sep 2026 “Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry was John Augustus Barry I’s daughter” She was his granddaughter. The 1915 death notice names eight children and she is not among them; her father is Hendrik Nicholaas Barry, whose other children were baptised at Dordrecht and Slang River between 1888 and 1900.…

…The Schoemans sit alongside the Barrys in the same way. P. Schoeman witnessed the 1879 Booysen–Barry marriage ; Anna Johanna Maria Schoemann married Hendrik Nicholaas Barry in 1877; and the 1901 Pretorius–Barry wedding was held at the home of D. Schoeman . Why that matters → The names give it away Anna's mother was christened Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry — the same four names, in the same order, as her own grandmother Margaretha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Mary Kolbe . And Anna herself was "named after Anna Johanna Maria Schoemann" , her father's mother, a fact the tree records explicitly rather than leaving to be inferred.…

…Jerpoint is new, and it is Irish — which is where the Barrys are supposed to have come from, and where this archive has never been able to place them. Open questions → A coincidence worth chasing: Commandant D. Schoeman On 8 July 1901 — with martial law in force and the war still running — Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry married Petrus Jacobus Pretorius . The tree records the venue with unusual precision: "At the home of D Schoeman , 'Caerlaverock' , Barkly East district, Cape Colony." In March 1900 , about 400 Cape Rebels under Commandant D. Schoeman held Labuschagne's Nek, north of Dordrecht — the next district over. The bride's mother was Anna Johanna Maria Schoemann .…

…Name Dates Occupation as recorded Margaretha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Mary Kolbe 1826–1912 LAUNDRESS Catherine Maria Sophia “Kathleen” Barry 1859–1940 Needle Woman — and, at her death, “Home Duties” and “Military Pensioner”. No son of hers is among the First World War dead; the pension must come from one who served and survived. Margarietha Wilhelmina Elizabeth Barry 1880–1961 Housewife Set beside the men — carpenter , builder , grocer , labourer , tailor , chemist — this is not a gentry family at any point in its recorded history, on either side of the marriage.
