If you scroll down there are separate superintendents for Cowpen and Newsham Blyth Cemeteries.
I can’t see what year this is.

I am glad that you were able to get in contact, Sherri. I have also heard back from Paul, but it was purely to try and get you in touch.

I am trying to get in contact with who I think is the original poster to alert him to this.

South Africa / Re: What is 4,00 Rand?
« on: Sunday 21 January 24 23:08 GMT (UK) »
Thank you. I have found the names of some other private researchers. Maybe ten years ago, I rang the Western Cape Archives and paid over the phone. It may be another option. That was only one page. I do not have South African ancestry, but one of my direct ancestors lived there and my research is in connection with him.

South Africa / Re: South African records with images on Family Search

I finally plucked up the courage to contact the Western Cape Archives. I heard back from Erika, but the email was forwarded to another of her colleagues. I received a formal quote for 4,00 rand which is under one dollar Australian, but I am unable to order it because there is no way of paying such a small sum from Australia.
