ST PAUL'S & BLACK RIVER GRAVEYARDS

BLACK RIVER CEMETERY

The Rev Michael Bester has attempted to re-construct the burial registers for the Black River Cemetery, Klipfontein and Cressy Roads, Athlone from 1926-1946. How he has achieved this mammoth task is given here and the list of people buried in the graveyard and given here and here

The excavation and de-consecration of the Black River Cemetery is now complete (December 2017). Before these operations took place, public participation meetings brought forward some additional names and during removal of remains additional names were found on unearthed headstones and coffin plaques. In an attempt to ensure a complete a record as possible of those buried in this cemetery, the Rev Michael Bester has created an addendum list available here

Do not forget that those buried before 1926 will be with the St Paul's Burial Records which are available at www.familysearch.org/ or from Derek Pratt (email:dpratt@mweb.co.za).

ST PAUL'S GRAVEYARD

I am busy collecting a brief family history of all those buried in the Purchased plots in St Paul's Graveyard. The graveyard was only open for a short period – from around 1840 to the late 1880s – therefore there is a finite number of people are buried here that need to be researched.

In 2006 the Western Cape Branch of the South African Archaelogical Society collected the transcripts from the extant tombstones and published them in a book with photographs of the tombstones on an accompanying CD. This book and CD is avaible from the Archaeological Society. Contact Connie Feast on 021 689 5921 or Yvonne Viljoen email: yv3@mweb.co.za

Below is a list of names of those whose family history is being researched. I will add details of all the people listed as I complete the research. If you would like to see what has been researched thus far on any of them or if any of these names are your ancestors, please contact me, Derek Pratt (email:dpratt@mweb.co.za) so I can either send you what I have or add your data to what I have already collected.
