The Barrys → Married 23 FEBRUARY 1846 at COLESBERG — entry 735, read at the page on 9 October 2026, where the clerk writes the groom JOHN BERRY and the groom signs JOHN BARRY. Residence STORMBERG SPRUIT; after banns; by Thomas Reid. THE CONSENT COLUMN NAMES HER MOTHER AND NOBODY OF HIS: «de Weduwe Kolbe, moeder», where the entries above and below each name two fathers. THIS FILE SAID “about 1850 at BURGHERSDORP” until 28 September 2026 and drew a son born in 1847 underneath it. The 1850 was the word “probably” on the 1915 death notice, written by the son who had put “Unknown” on his mother's notice three months earlier; the 1846 is in this archive's own people file, and a correspondent supplied the exact date and place from Pama in 1999. His 1903 registration says they had ELEVEN children; his own death notice names EIGHT; HER death notice, estate 1291, names NINE. The ninth is WILLIAM, who appears on nothing else. Two are still missing.

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.
