priority 2 · LEAD-0207
SRC-008 says item 12, Thomas Frederick MarincowitzL (1847-1916), "is daarna getroud met Ignasina MaraisH op 30 Aug 1888 te Prince Albert" with two further children, Philip Ernest (1889) and Adeline Mirkle (1890), numbered 127 and 128 as his own. It ALSO says item 124, his son Thomas Frederick (b. 20 Jun 1874), "is getroud met Ignasina MaraisH". Which of them did she marry, and was it one woman or two?
What would settle it Archibald's baptism entry. It names the mother, and that decides whose wife she was without needing the marriage register at all.
