Colyn: That's very kind of you. I don't know the exact location of Oupa's grave, but I can ask my cousin before you go scrambling through a thousand pathways. The plaques - I'm assuming that they haven't been removed - were on the walls of Christ Church in Kenilworth. When we worshipped there, Rev. Wakeling and Rev. Akehurst were the ministers as I remember. I believe the names on the plaques would be JOHN DEAN CARTWRIGHT, FRANK EDWIN CARTWRIGHT, and I can't remember the other, but any of CARTWRIGHT would be my kin. I believe that the Cartwright graves are @ Woltemade. There is a plaque in the Garden of Remembrance for my Dad, as he was cremated, ARTHUR LENNOX CARTWRIGHT. But, I have no idea the location of the other family graves. Names would be ANNA ROBERTSON REID, CHARLOTTE ANNA (WATERMEYER) CARTWRIGHT, JOHN DEAN CARTWRIGHT, FRANK (FRANCES?) EDWIN CARTWRIGHT. I'll have to see. I dimly remember & family cemetery and that the graves were moved out to Woltemade, but I have no idea where they are situated. But, please, do not go out of your way. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Are you cold & rainy by now?

Give ma a list of the names and locations, I will hopefully be in that direction at the weekend and would be happy to assist with photographs. I need to visit Wynberg, and Constantia on Sunday just to finalise some grave details.
