Finding a grave location in South Africa (1970 death)

Your message re the third wife, read:-

She was the niece of Fr Clayton, Parish Priest of Cleator but I can't get a fix on her.

I have given you the fix on her by going through and looking at each member of the Clayton family.
You now have her parents names, her maiden name, her birth place.  You would need to purchase her birth certificate for the exact date, I do not do that.   There was no UK marriage for the couple.

I believe that BMD records housed in Cape Town from 1895 - 1971 including Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape are now open to the public.  You would need to pay a researcher to go to the archives and explore the marriage.  Sorry I cannot help


Good Luck

You have been more than helpful and I really appreciate all the information.  Your pointers for the way forward are very helpful and, if we can ever shake this current plague, I'll certainly be following them up.  It's so frustrating having to work at arms length all the time :-(

The headstone photograph is a memorial to Mrs May Eleanor Belton (2nd wife) died 1954 and Andrew Belton died 1970.

Mrs Kathleen Belton, died 1983, was Andrew Belton's 3rd wife.

Thanks
