Richard Pieter Kolbe Barry

AND THE NAME IS IN A GOVERNMENT FILE, TWICE OVER, IN ONE LINE. SAB, VWR volume 2, reference B645/8/38, 1937: “AANSOEK DEUR PLAASEIENAAR BARKLY-OOS. RPK BARRY. BYWONER RPK BARRY (SEUN).” An application by a farm owner at Barkly East — R.P.K. BARRY — and the bywoner on the place is R.P.K. BARRY, HIS SON. TWO MEN OF THESE INITIALS AT BARKLY EAST IN 1937, one holding the land and one working it as a tenant, and the state file is between them. This archive cannot say which of the two is the man born in 1899 and does not guess. A BYWONER is not a labourer and not an owner; it is the word South Africa used in the 1930s for a white tenant farming another man's ground, and VWR is the Department of Social Welfare. THE FILE HAS NOT BEEN READ. CARRIES BOTH NAMES AT ONCE — Richard Pieter, for the Barry of Manorowen, and Kolbe, for the 1820 Settler family his great-grandmother married out of. Married Maria Magdalena Siebert. FROM THE INDEX; no image read.

The documents

…MR. GS KOLBE ASKS TO BE SUPPLIED WITH A COPY OF THE ROAD BOARD LAW. A Barry and a Kolbe in one sentence, at Wakkerstroom, in 1908.

This archive holds three Barrys carrying Kolbe as a forename — Henry James Kolbe Barry, Richard Pieter Kolbe Barry. C.K. Barry read, for about ten minutes, like a fourth. He is CYRIL KERSHAW BARRY, and he is an attorney.…

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.
