SITI KECHIK ROKIAH BT SHAIKH ABDUL RAHMAN AL-BAGHDADI

Siti Kechik Rokiah bt Shaikh Abdul Rahman al-Baghdadi (Batu Uban) married to Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Dato' Jenaton (b.1852). 

Siti Kechik Rokiah was known as Siti Rokiah Kecik or Long Rokiah. The 2 other call names could be the same individual or different individuals from different mothers (same father).

My comments:
Rokiah was probably the eldest daughter but was of small build. Thus, Siti Kechik Rokiah and Siti Rokiah Kecik could allude to her small stature or build while Long Rokiah could indicate her as being the eldest, from the word "sulong" and shortened to "Long". It is rare that a father would name his daughters by similar names.

* * *

NAKHODA

My comments:
We have to be careful with the word Nakhoda and with whom it is associated. The word Nakhoda Nan Intan is associated with the Minangkabau ship's captain, and he was a Sunni Muslim.

However, Nakhoda (used singly) is also separately associated with the Shiah sect and the followers can be found in Singapore. Shiah is banned in Malaysia but is allowed in Singapore and elsewhere.

MISSING LINKS

I am uncertain what this links to. Nenek Umi Kalthom mentioned and I just quickly wrote down whatever she said. They are probably her husband's siblings.

3 sibs:

1. Shaikh Muhammad (eldest)
2. Shaikh Hazali (middle) married, had 2 kids.
3. Shaikh Mahmood (bongsu) married, had 3 kids.

THE EARLY MALAY DOCTORS

Nenek Umi Kalthom knows and happily remembered Dr K. M. Ariff. "He brings the ubat van (mobile clinic). Whoever wants ubat can go to the van to obtain medicine."

(٠‎ - ١‎ - ٢‎ - ٣‎ - ٤‎ - ٥‎ - ٦‎ - ٧‎ - ٨‎ - ٩‎) 

NAKHODA NAN INTAN'S FAMILY TREE

Nenek Umi Kalthom's husband, Tok Shaikh Mohamed read the family tree in tulisan Jawi which was prepared by Nakhoda Nan Intan's people. He couldn't see very well so Affandi lent him his low-powered glasses. Even with the glasses on, Tok Shaikh Mohamed could hardly read Nakhoda's family tree. I think the tulisan Jawi was so small and very difficult to decipher.

Tok Sk Mohamed bin Sk Ali bin Sk Mohd Hassan Al-Khaiyath. He is holding the document that has Nakhoda Nan Intan's family tree. Nakhoda Nan Intan's family tree was kept by Nenek Umi Kalthom at her Batu Uban home in Penang.

This was what Tok Shaikh Mohamed read slowly and with difficulty:

Nakhoda nan Intan ibni al-Marhum Tengku Patih nan Sebatang was from Kampung Buadi, Paya Kumboh. He married 3 wives:

1. Suri Padi (Payakumbuh, first wife)
2. Che Aminah (Deli, second wife)
3. Che Asiah/Aishah (Che Tunggal, third wife)

ISTANA PAGARUYUNG, WEST SUMATRA

From my reading, Istana Pagaruyung was razed to the ground 3 times, each time it was re-built. It seemed like a bad omen. 

The Dutch administration in Sumatra did not burn the Minangkabau-styled palace at Pagaruyung in West Sumatra.
