Removed date of death (1721) because error database says:

Warning: Check the data.

  1. A mother's death date should not be before one of her children's birth dates.

Maree-283 and Maré-38 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. Maré-38 already existed. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!

Update: I replaced Calabria, Italy as place of birth because she is the daugher of Ignacé Maré and this profile does notrepresent the same person as: Catharina (Maré) Janse van Vuuren (abt. 1718). who is in fact Cape born.
