Hi

Can you tell me which repository used that acronym, was it from a search result, if so could you let me have the details, I may be able to shed some light on it for you.

Hi

I haven't managed to track down a burial site as yet, it is possible that he was buried on the Mission Station. 

Rhodes University in Cape Town are the custodians of the Archives for the Methodist Church they can be contacted here:

This link explains the collections that they have

Hope this helps

I would still try the search page first that is offered. It can get a bit frustrating trying to find the right one even though they are in numerical order, there are often a lot of images for a particular year.

It is always a difficult decision on whether "to tell or not".  I think it will depend largely on the generation of the person involved, the "older" generation often don't take kindly to this sort of thing being brought to their attention, probably having lived with the version they were all told and grew up with. 
I speak from experience in this regard. My own father reacted with horror when he discovered that he and his sister were born before their parents marriage when he needed their marriage certificate for a passport application.

I think you have done what you can, if they find the information on your tree, let them contact you for further info, that way they may be more receptive to hearing about it...
