Mary Elizabeth Kolbe

HER DEATH IS NOW DATED, AND SHE DIED WITHOUT A WILL. The Friend of the Free State, 23 October 1863, twice in two weeks: “Derwyl MARIA ELIZABETH KOLBE zonder testament na te laten is overleden en de nagebleven echtgenoot G.F. ENSLIN by brieve van administratie ter vereffening van haren boedel als executeur is aangesteld” — she had died INTESTATE and her husband was appointed executor of her estate. This archive had only “before 1867”, inferred. It is now BEFORE 23 OCTOBER 1863, from a notice her own husband placed. MARGARETHA'S SISTER, and the woman who married GEORGE FREDERICK ENSLIN — which is the whole answer to a contradiction this archive carried as Serious, that Margaretha appeared to marry Enslin while married to John Barry. It was resolved from Margaret Downing's 1867 death notice. The Burgersdorp register of 23 October 1853 shows it instead: the two sisters baptising a son each, two entries apart, on one page.

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.
