Beatrix Magdalena Catharina Boshoff
HER HALF OF THE SILVERTON STONE READS: “AAN ONS DIERBARE MOEDER — BEATRIX MAGDALENA CATHARINA (GEB. BOSHOFF) — ✳ 18-7-1888, † 23-5-1977 — Deur Jesus was vrede behaal, sy kruisdood het alles betaal. Ges. 12:6”. THE DEATH IS NEW AND THE BIRTH DISAGREES WITH THIS ARCHIVE. Her baptism at Mossel Bay on 16 February 1890 gives her born 16 JUNE 1889; the stone says 18 JULY 1888, and the eGGSA index transcribes it 1889. A baptism register written weeks after the event outranks a stone cut eighty-eight years later, so this archive keeps 1889 — and records the disagreement rather than hiding it. BURIED AT SILVERTON, PRETORIA, on a joint stone with her husband: “nee BOSHOFF 1889-1977”. The birth year matches her 1890 Mossel Bay baptism and 1977 is a death year this archive did not have. IMAGE LOCATED, NOT YET READ. His widow, who signed the 1940 death notice at Pretoria on 26 July 1940 — and who could not name her husband's parents. SHE WAS SIXTEEN when she married him at Mosselbaai on 5 September 1905, with her parents consenting; he was thirty. Her own parents were EVERT PHILIP BOSHOFF and SUSANNA FREDERIKA ALETTA MEYER, named on her 1890 baptism — and two of her eleven children are called straight after them.

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.
