Burial at St Patricks Church, Umzinto
« on: Tuesday 03 November 09 13:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone could offer any advice about tracking down a burial record or some way of obtaining a photo/monumental inscription of a grave for my ancestor please?

 I have John George Rae's deceased estate records which specify that he was buried in St Patricks Church, Umzinto in 1951. Am I right in thinking that the records may be kept at Wits University, as this seems to have been an Anglican church? If so, does anyone know how much they would charge to do a lookup?

 John George was born in Birmingham in the 1870s and emigrated some time after 1891. I would be over the moon if I could find out exactly where he is laid to rest.

Many thanks for any ideas you can offer.
