Map of Wynberg St John's Cemetery (Methodist section)
« on: Monday 11 May 15 22:44 BST (UK) »
I have a photo of my great grandmother's grave - think it was from the old Ancestry 24 web site - I am visiting Cape Town in July and wanted to pay my respects. Is there a map of the cemetery that shows the location of graves available?

You could check out Billion Graves or Find-a-grave to see if there is an image, this will give you a GPS location for the grave, using a smartphone on GPS would take you straight to the grave!
If the grave stone is not on either site you can make a request, someone then may be able to locate it for you?

Thanks for replies and will check with the parish office. 'Find a grave' and 'billion graves' doesn't have the image. I will try a request too.

Thanks. Have checked all these sites but with no luck. I have also had no reply from the parish. I have come across this publication "Alphabetical guide to gravestones in the St. John's cemetery, Wynberg, Cape Town (Anglican, Methodist and Dutch Reformed sections) by Peter Holden". The title looks promising but cannot access it anywhere (its not available via LDS either). Does anyone have access to it?
