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.…

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. The Barrys of Swellendam , the great Cape merchant house, are a different Barry family unless and until a document says otherwise, and this archive makes no claim on them.…
