MEANING 3

Krasse (Dutch) means rüstig in German, and rüstig means bijdehand in Dutch.

Bijdehand (Dutch) means by hand (manual) in English.

So Krasse could mean manual work done by manual workers - eg, farmers if they worked on the farm, or carpenters if they build ships and buildings.

In Malay, "keras" means hard and "kerja keras" means hard work or hardworking. These terms do implying manual hard work.

DUTCH SURNAMES

Old Dutch Surnames - Krasse and de Coursey

Malaysian historian, Andrew Hwang, says the two names Krasse and de Coursey are old Dutch surnames. They are not Portuguese names as once thought.

Therefore, Emma Krasse and Daisy Catherine de Coursey Bulner had old Dutch surnames.

EMMA'S 10 SIBS

Emma had 10 siblings, but only 5 names are known: Emma, Agnes, Sofia, Kate and Lawrence

Emma's 10 sibs from Aunty Esther via her son Jeffrey:

[03/05/2017, 12:23 a.m.] Jefrey:
Mum only remembers Emma, Agnes, Sofia, Kate and Lawrence.
The other 5 can't remember.

-----------------
DUTCH LADIES' CLOTHES

From observation of Margaret Jansz's clothes, we can see that she wore a dark long gown with long sleeves, possibly a West Friesland Sunday dress, maybe to go to church. So, we can say that Margaret Jansz possibly originated from West Friesland region in Holland. The front left and right bodices have many tiny wrapped buttons from top to bottom.

She does not seem to wear the typical red bead coral choker (necklace) with a gold clamp. She could be wearing a big brooch.

She also wears a long gold necklace.

However, her headdress is atypical of the West Friesland region. Her headdress is that from Renaissance Europe period. It is a Toque velvet cocktail cap, with many folds and maybe with some pearls or gemstones, and maybe a long ribbon in the back. It is a Spanish, French or Jewish hat style of distinction.

EMMA'S MARRIAGE, AGE AT MARRIAGE & FIRST CONCEPTION

Emma's date of birth (DOB), date of marriage and age at marriage are unknown at the time of this writing. The Pregnancy Calculator is used to calculate her marriage and pregnancy details.

http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-calculator/

First Day of Last Menstrual Period (LMP): 28 May 1910

Average Length of Cycle: 28 days

Estimated Fertility Window: 7 - 17 June 1910

Estimated Conception Date: 12 June 1910

Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD): 5 March 1911

           ... Date of Birth (DOB) of Daisy Catherine de Courcey Bulner

So, Emma possibly married on 28 May 1910 or 28 April 1910 (estimated dates), when she was 19 years old (estimated age) (if she was born circa 1891).

If Emma married at age 18, then she was probably born circa 1892.
