Hi.
       My Great Uncle Henry Spendiff died on the 14 march 1922 at Market Buildings Fordsburg Johannesburg, he was a miner and a communist. I already have his death notice,a copy of his will and other paperwork relating to his wife and children. I am interested in finding out where he was buried. I have read an article which said that all the miners killed during this period ended up in a mass grave then I came across an article on the South African communist party website(two extracts attached from the article)which suggested that may not have been the case.
I have not yet found his marriage, his wifes  name was Amy Hilda Etherton and  his first child Henry James was born in Rietfontain Germiston South Africa around 1905. Any advice or help in finding his burial place or his marriage would be appreciated.
                        Thanks.
