Ruben Jacobus Josuah Barry
WITHDRAWN AS A SON, for the same reason as Dorothea Regina: the 1915 death notice, read entire, does not name him. The register holds a RUBEN JACOBUS HOSEA baptised at Dordrecht in 1888, a grandson. The Schoeman name Ruben does come into this family — one generation later than this archive said.

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.
