Hi Cheryl If you are new to genealogy in South Africa I suggest you download the Ancestry24 free beginners guide. http://ancestry24.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ancestry24BeginnersGuide_20090703_lowres.pdf where you can find out what documents are your most valuable in finding family members, where they are kept and what years they cover. I have searched and found hardly anything on this surname except a few records on http://ancestry24.com which includes a baptism and marriage. Then there is one for a James Ernest Cree who died in Natal in 1968 - these documents will be in the Pietermaritzburg Archive DEPOT NAB SOURCE MSCE TYPE LEER SYSTEM 01 REFERENCE 3921/1968 PART 1 DESCRIPTION CREE, JAMES ERNEST.
