Notes:

Birth:
Burial record: "ætati. 81 a'orum"; it is almost certainly an exaggeration.

Name:
Marriage record to Everard Kree gives her name as "Margaretha Maria Bryen"; every other record that gives her full name gives it as Maria Gieseke, with varying spelling of the surname. Given the baptism record found, it is likely that her mother's name was substituted in the marriage record. (9 Dec 2021)
