-------------------------------------------------------------------
INCHE NYONIA BT TUAN SHEIKH MOHD SAHABUDIN
Inche Nyonia bt Tuan Sheikh Sahabudin was from Tengkera, Melaka (Bapak beritahu).
There were 2 men whose names were almost similar. Both names could be the same man, whose name was spelt differently in different accounts. One man is named Shahbudin and another man is named Sahabudin.
Therefore, Inche Nyonia could be the daughter of either man (or the same man but named differently in different accounts).
She could be the daughter of Maulana Sheikh Shahbudin Alyamani (an Indian Muslim) from Tengkera. She could be the daughter of Dato Shahbuddin bin Haji Mohd Amin of Kadilangu, Cirebon, Java, Dutch Indonesia. Both men were clergies.
There is Makam Shahbudin Al Yamani in Tengkera (Bapak beritahu), but I could not locate this makam in Tengkera.
Inche Nyonia had 3 sons with Ismail Jailani:
- Haji Mohd Sharif (eldest brother, he lived in Banda Hilir)
- Haji Noordin (middle brother, he lived in Ujong Pasir)
- Zainal@Zenal (youngest brother, he lived in Klang)
V1. TUAN SHEIKH MOHD SAHABUDIN (asal Tengkera)
V2. DATO' SHAHBUDDIN BIN HAJI MOHD AMIN (asal Cirebon, Jawa)
Tuan Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin could be Dato' Shahbuddin bin Haji Mohd Amin, asal Cirebon, Jawa, Dutch Indonesia.
Dato Shahbuddin bin Haji Mohd Amin (asal Cirebon) was a Javanese Sufi master from Cirebon in Java, Dutch Indonesia.
He was descended from Keturunan Sunan Gunung Jati (Sharif Hidayatullah), one of the well-known Wali Songo.

Dia keturunan Sunan Gunung Jati (Sharif Hidayatullah). The links are unclear.
[Misinformation from Moin anak Pak Ji Usop Semabok. According to him, Dato' Shahbddin's daughter, Fatimah, married to ISMAIL ALYAMANI.]
Dato' Shahbuddin bin Haji Mohd Amin's daughter is Inche Nyonia bt Tuan Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin, who married to Ismail Jailani. Fatimah married to Haji Mohd Sharif bin Ismail Jailani,
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Fatma (Pahmah) mother is Siti Hawa bt Ismail Jailani, also referred to as Hawa Jailani.
Haji Mohd Sharif bin Ismail married Fatma bt Shaik Mohamad. She was known as Pahmah, as written on her son's birth certificate of 1896.
Pahmah was from Tengkera. She came to live in Banda Hilir when she married to Haji Mohd Sharif bin Ismail. Pahmah's father was Shaik Mohamad bin Salem Al Yamani, who was an Arab from Yemen (Arab dari Yaman). Pahmah's mother is Siti Hawa bt Ismail Jailani (she was known as Hawa Jailani) - the same mother as Abdul Aziz bin Shaikh Mohamad Al Yamani (Ami Aziz Alyamani). Pahmah had 6 other siblings in Penang.
There are no birth certificates of Pahmah's 5 children except that of her eldest and only son, Mohd Usuf @ Mohd Yusope bin Haji Mohd Sharif.

MOHD AMIN HASSAN LONG
Mohd Amin's parents are unknown, as he was adopted.
Mohd Amin was a foster son of Hassan bin Long (Dr Fairuz Ashikin beritahu).
Mohd Amin was a respected Javanese man who opened Kg Baru, KL.
Mohd Amin of Kg Baru, KL, was of Javanese extraction (keturunan Jawa)(Dr Fairuz Ashikin beritahu).
Mohd Amin was the founder of Kg Baru, KL, under Police Commissioner Henry C. Syers (ikut cerita Tan Sri Dr Abdul Majid bin Ismail @ Wak Majid).
Mohd Amin worked as a Market Supervisor at Chow Kit market in KL, ie Penguasa Pasar Chow Kit di KL (ikut cerita kaum keluarga besar di Melaka dan di Kg Baru, KL).
Mohd Amin donated his land for Masjid Kg Baru, KL (Pak Mat beritahu). But wealthy Haji Bachik (saudara Bapak di Bukit Cina, Melaka) donated funds for building the masjid. So Mohd Amin (Kg Baru, KL) and Haji Bachik (Bukit Cina, Melaka) should have known each other when they donated to build Masjid Kg Baru in KL.
Like Haji Bachik, Mohd Amin married 4 wives and had 19 children (see other postings on Mohd Amin and Haji Bachik).
Mohd Amin's daughter is Aishah bt Mohd Amin (Nenek Inche @ Bik Esah), who married to Mohd Yusope bin Haji Md Sharif.
Mohd Amin died in 1936. Bapak said Bapak fell down and hurt his chin or forehead the day when Mohd Amin died. Bapak should have met Mohd Amin in Kg Baru since he was a little boy and lived at Imbi Road, KL. Maybe he could not remember his grandfather.

MAKAM DI TENGKERA, MELAKA
There are a few makams in Tengkera. Many have visited and know the exact location of the graveyard in Tengkera. I have not been to this particular graveyard.
The Makam is located in Tengkera, in a narrow lane (Jalan Siantan 2/3 A) to the right of Masjid Tengkera. Go down that road, past Kubur Syed Idrus (a large burial ground on the right). Just after Kubur Syed Idrus is a small burial plot belonging to Haji Tambi, Haji Abdul Latiff and their descendants. The graveyard entrance gate maybe locked. You can contact the caretakers before your visit.
Makam location: Jalan Siantan 2/3 A, Taman Siantan Puri, Tengkera, Melaka
