• General Comment. Maria Charlotte Hunt Wylde

Maria was the eldest of 10 children born to Frederick William Kekewich Wylde and Anna Elizabeth van Ryneveld. Frederick was a grandson of Sir John Wylde (1780-1859), who was for a period Chief Justice of the Cape Colony.

She was born on the farm Buffalo Kloof in Albany, her death notice says.

We can follow a number of social connections in the names of witnesses at her marriage to Frederick John Fuller and the baptisms of their four children at St. Barnabas in Stutterheim.
Maria, who had nine siblings, seems to have followed a policy of giving her brothers and sisters turns at being witnesses at the baptisms of her children -- eventually covering six of the nine, although sister Annie Amelia was obviously a favourite, witnessing the marriage as well as two baptisms.
At her marriage, the witness were F. Ryneveld (possibly Francis Guthrie van Ryneveld, an aunt who would have been relatively close in age to Maria) and Annie Amelia Wylde, a younger sister.
At the baptism of Clarence, the witnesses were her siblings Edward and Annie Amelia Wylde (although the Edward could possibly be an uncle).
At the baptism of Ryno, the witnesses were A.C. Wylde, G.F. Philips and M.A. Philips, respectively a brother and two members of the Philips family, relatives of the woman who would eventually become Frederick John's second wife.
At the baptism of Dorothy, the witnesses were C.R. Wylde, A.A. Wylde and M. Blunden, two siblings plus, presumably, a relative of Frederick John's brother-in-law Edward Austen Blunden.
At the baptism of Dagmar, the witnesses were F.H. Wylde, A. Thorne and M. Wylde. Again we have two siblings, but A. Thorne is interesting -- this is Frederick John's future second wife, Amy Currie Thorne, born Philips, whose husband had died just four days previously.

Interestingly, at the baptism of Amy Currie Thorne's son, John Maquire Thorne, on Nov. 7,1903, the four witnesses included F. Fuller and M. Fuller, presumably Frederick John and Maria, indicating some kind of family friendship with the already widowed Mrs. Thorne.

Maria is buried in the cemetery at Stutterheim, where her gravestone inscription reads:
"In loving memory of Maria Fuller (born Wylde)
who departed this life February 13 1906"
Further down on the gravestone there is an inscription for her husband:
"Frederick John Fuller September 21 1935"

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
