Burial Registers

A project in development.

Registers included: Barkly West, St Mary (Anglican) 1878-1927; East London, Cambridge Crematorium Oct 1996 to May 2004; East London, West Bank Cemetery 1854-2008; Grahamstown, St George (Anglican) 1823-1836; Potchefstroom, St Mary (anglican) 1891-1921; Sidbury, St Peter (Anglican) 1842-1848; For more details please see the Introduction.

To search the burial register transcripts please enter  any or all of the search terms in the form below:

When searching for a name which may have more than one spelling, try searching for just that part which is usually the same in both forms, for instance MEINTJES | MEINTJIES: search for MEINTJ,  for VAN RENSBURG | JANSE VAN RENSBURG: search for RENSBURG,  for MACALLISTER | MCALLISTER | MC ALLISTER: search for ALLISTER, for  VAN DER MERWE | V.D.MERWE: search for MERWE.

To find Du Plessis in the Tulbagh registers, for instance, where the spelling is very imaginative indeed, try searching for just  DU PL - to find all Koopmans and Coopmans, search on  OOPMAN - remember too that in the 18th and 19th centuries the letter Y was usuall spelled IJ in registers compiled in Dutch, SNIJMAN rather than SNYMAN.
