His wife: Hajjah Umi Kalthom bt Hj Abdul Lathif
Her call names: Uncle Haji Tamby bin Ahmad called her Aunty as she is HABHAL's younger sister. Baharin bin Haji Tamby called her Nek Aunty. Kak Fuziah gave her name as Hajjah Kalsom. Mak referred to her as Aunty Chom. I referred to her as Nenek Chom.
Date of birth: 26 April 1930 Melaka
Birthplace: She was born in Melaka (could be at Tengkera)
Occupation: Housewife (dia pandai masak and buat kuih Raya, as I remember her in P. Chepa, Kelantan). She was our neighbour.
Date of demise: 3 November 2004 (74) Klang, Selangor; interred at Klang
She married to Jamaluddin bin Ali and bore him 6 children.
Parents:
Father: Hj Abdul Lathif bin Hj Tambi (Ulamak Nusantara)
Mother: Bi bt Abdullah (from Bandung; she was partly Dutch; she was referred to as Nek Bee; she was gifted to the Ulamak, who later married her when she was older/when she was of marrying age)
------
I spoke to their daughter Dr Sabariah Faizah bt Hj Jamaluddin on 25 May 2016:
According to Dr Sabariah Faizah, Masjid Tengkera has a section on Hj Abdul Lathif (Ulamak Nusantara). Arkib Melaka has put up information on Hj Abdul Lathif. There are photos of him too.
According to Dr Sabariah Faizah, Hjh Umi Kalthom's father was Hj Abdul Lathif, the renowned Ulamak Nusantara from Tengkera. Her mother's mother was Bi bt Abdullah. Bi bt Abdullah was originally from Bandung, Indonesia. She came to Penang at age 13 years and married to Hj Abdul Lathif as his Penang wife, and also as his last wife. Their only daughter is Hjh Umi Kalthom bt Hj Abdul Lathif.
Bi bt Abdullah married twice, first to Hj Abdul Lathif (Ulamak Nusantara), and then to Hj Sulaiman. Bi bt Abdullah had only one daughter from her first marriage to Hj Abdul Lathif, and two daughters from her second marriage to Hj Sulaiman. Altogether, Bi bt Abdullah had three daughters from her 2 marriages.
Hjh Umi Kalthom's father passed away when she was about 9 years old. She never went to formal school, but knew/read tulisan Jawi. She could not write in Jawi.
When was Hjh Umi Kalthom born? We can calculate her birth date based on her father's date of demise. Her father passed away in 1939. So Hjh Umi Kalthom was probably born in 1930.
Hjh Umi Kalthom was born in Melaka, but the exact place is unknown. Then she moved to Singapore (the exact place in Singapore is unknown). Then she probably moved back to Melaka before moving to Johor. She married in Johor to Jamaluddin bin Ali. Their daughter is Dr Sabariah Faizah bt Hj Jamaluddin.
Hjh Umi Kalthom was most probably born in Tengkera, Melaka since her father and grandfather were also from Tengkera.
Dr Sabariah Faizah was born in Johor in 1959. She lives in Shah Alam. Dr Sabariah Faizah has an adopted aunt named Siti bt Abdullah.
Siti bt Abdullah is from Johor. She is an adopted sister of Hjh Umi Kalthom. She is probably Chinese. She is presently in her late 70s/early 80s. Siti bt Abdullah had lived with both Bi bt Abdullah and Hjh Umi Kalthom bt Hj Abdul Lathif. Siti bt Abdullah knows the details of both Bi bt Abdullah and Hjh Umi Kalthom bt Hj Abdul Lathif.
