John Gottlob Kolbe
A TAILOR OF CONDUIT STREET, MAYFAIR, and the grade rests on paper rather than on the tree. FOUR INDEPENDENT DOCUMENTS call him John Gottlob where the family tree calls him Johan Gottlieb, and this archive follows the documents: his WILL of 1842, a Prerogative Court of Canterbury register copy; his death in 1845; the marriage at ST LEONARD’S, SHOREDITCH on 20 January 1819 where his son swore a false age; and his own letter of 23 August 1830 to that son at the Cape. This note said only “Of the London Kolbes” until 11 October 2026, under a heading that promises what the archive holds.

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.
