It may not even be relevant, depending on what country terrorbull's ancestors came from! 
1837/1875 applies to England and Wales.

So many people "on hold" here waiting to help you, terrorbull!

Since you posted in The Common Room (a general board) and didn't give any clue as to location you've gotten some replies which have nothing to do with South African records. However, if you click on 'report to moderator' and ask for this topic to be moved to the South Africa board it's possible someone there will be able to help further.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

My great grandfather was born in Johannesburg in 1897. He later signed a British civil service proof of age stating that his birth was not recorded due to there not being a registrar there at the time.  If I'm not mistaken the first registrar in Johannesburg started up in 1903.  I didn't read through all the comments but I thought I would share my similar research situation anyways incase it helps. Good luck :)
