There was a section in the old Somerset Road Cemetery but that closed in the 1950's. Some headstones and bodies were re-interred in Maitland Cemetery and very important people have their headstones at the Cathedral itself. The rest are gone and forgotten. You can also search the Maitland Cemetery burials from 1888 - 1925 on Ancestry24 http://ancestry24.com/collection/?id=41 Ancestry24 is busy photographing all of the cemeteries in Cape Town and you can find over 20 000 of them in their gallery http://gallery.ancestry24.com/v/Cemeteries/ Graveyards in Cape Town are not safe places to go so and this is one of the reasons why we as photographing them. regards Heather Heather MacAlister Channel Manager Tel:021 446 5200 Fax:+27 (0)86 581 0390 www.ancestry24.co.za Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ancestry24 Skype: Ancestry24 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Giles Forrest Sent: Mon 31/05/2010 03:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Gravestone photos required for George'sAnglican Church, Cape Town Greetings, I am trying to find someone in Cape Town who offers the services of taking photos of gravestones for a fee. I have used the service before on Ancestry's ExpertConnect website, however no-one covers Cape Town. I'm after photos of the grave of my ancestor Mrs Anne Forrest (nee Mclachlan) who was buried in St George's Anglican Church in Cape Town (see below). Also, any other information that may be available about her cause of death, and possibly a photo of "Royal Hospital" where my ancestor Dr John Forrest was based. Many thanks, Giles Details below provided by a South African genealogist: Death and burial of Anne FORREST: In the Government Gazette dated Friday, 05 August 1842, in the Deaths section: 01 August 1842, Mrs Anne McLaclan FORREST, wife of John FORREST Esq. M.D., aged 32 years In the Burial Register of St George's Anglican Church, Cape Town: 02 August 1842, Mrs Anne McLaclan FORREST, Wife of John FORREST, Esquire, M.D., aged 32 years ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
