Elisabeth KOSSATZ (Zimmermann?)

[LloydG]

I’m looking for any information about Elisabeth KOSSATZ who arrived in Capetown South Africa (from Hamburg) 29 Feb 1860 as part of the KAINA family (as her mother had remarried). She was born 9 Feb 1845 in the staunchly Wendish village of Drehnow (near Peitz) and her parents were Johann and Anna (nee SCHLODDER) KOSSATZ.
I have found a Death Notice –
  The death of Elizabeth Zimmerman (nee Kossatz) on 8 Nov 1891, born in Germany Feb 1845, wife of the late William Frederick Zimmermann (1841-1886).
- and suspect this might be ‘my’ Elisabeth, but have been unable to find a marriage record that might confirm this. I need to know if the Zimmermanns can be ruled out if perhaps they were already a married couple before emigrating to SA. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Have you downloaded the death notice from familysearch? it might confirm parentage.

But sadly does not
Their will is dated 1877 so they were in the Cape then. Given her eldest child is a major at her death I would expect they married some time in the 1860's
