Anna Catharina Margaretha Hollenkamp was baptised on 23 February 1744 in the catholic church St. Nikolaus Ankum.[1] Her godparents were her aunt Anna Catharina Hollenkamp, Anna Margaretha Elisabetha Busselmans and Joannes Hermannus Busselman.[1]
It is not certain, but she likely died on 2 March 1744 in Ankum (please see Reearch Notes below).[2]

Death
What do we know about her death?
The burial book of St. Nikolaus Ankum lists a nameless child buried on Mar 2 1744.

Anna Catharina Margaretha Hollenkamp is the most recently born Hollenkamp child before this date (in Ankum).
But since she was baptised and given a name, we would expect that her name is listed in the burial book.[2]
I have not found a marriage record in Ankum that could involve her:
Assuming she would have married at between 21 and 35, we need to look at marriages between 1765 and 1779. There is a hole in the marriage book between 1763 - 1767. The Hollenkamp marriages in 1772, 1774, the two in 1783 have all been allocated to other couples, and there was no Anna Catharina Margaretha Hollenkamp, no Anna Catharina, no Catharina Margaretha or Anna Margaretha involved.
The only marriage record in Ankum that could have involved her was in 1763. She would have been 19 years at marriage, and the only Hollenkamp woman in Ankum that would have had married this young. The record mentions a Herm Will & Anna Maria Hollenkamp, so the name does not fit perfectly. Also, there is an Anna Maria Hollenkamp born 24 July 1735 who would have been 27 years at this point in time. We therefore dismiss the option, that this could have been her, although it is not impossible.
Other children with the last name Hollenkamp under the age of 12, that could have died in 1744:
