Vansom.ged201208. This could be (from Elizabeth Wilde : )
Emily VS Addis was the daughter of Tamericus Carolus or Jamericus Carolus or F C Van Someren & his wife Susanna Emilia Terloen Lightburne, the widow of William (I think) Lightburne. Both were dead by 1811, the mother dying at Emily's birth, leav ing several young children.
The problem is working out how the family of TC/JC/FC Van Someren was related to Gottlieb van S. Obviously they were close, as Emily VS Addis is referred to as "Aunt Addis" in the diary you had translated.
I have made the assumption that TC/JC/FC VS was an older brother of Gottlieb, so his children would be Gottlieb's nephews & nieces. I have no proof of this, but it seems the most logical solution, as Gottlieb was a witness at the marriages of se veral of TC/JC/FC's daughters and later the families frequently used each other's surnames as given names.
Tamericus could be a brother of Pieter, not a son.
Peter Robert Van Someren, born in India, educated in England & died in Penang, Malaya in 1861 could also be a sibling of Godlieb & Emilia. He married (in Penang) Cornelia Rodyk, daughter of John Rodyk, Dutch Governor of Ternate, Indonesia, unti l the British captured it. This could be the garbled origin of the story of the Pieter Van Someren who was a Dutch Governor in Indonesia. Unfortunately, I don't know his parentage or have a date for his birth. (The Rev. Arthur Taylor, grandso n of Emilia writes that Robert Garling Van Someren b 1852 Penang, barrister of Singapore & the son of Peter Robert VS is a distant cousin of his.) |
