That record will not be on-line - you would need to apply to the Cape Town Archives for a copy - they charge R1/page

[Jay55]

Thanks I thought they may charge. Unfortunately I'm in the UK so not able to go to the archives

[Gillian Mauchan]

At R16 to the Pound it is a very small cost!

Do you know if I can request it by email or online?

Hello,
I have a great-uncle who passed away in East London in Oct 1953. At least I hope it's him. The estate file on record lists John Hassold Kelley and my guy is John Hassock Kelly but close enough for now. FamilySearch has a massive file of South Africa Cape Province Probate Records 1834-1989 with links to the microfilmed records. 
   How do I accelerate a search for JHKelley/Kelly without opening every link? I would rather not pay KAB for photographing the estate file if it's already accessible--somehow--through FamilySearch.
Here are the details from NAAIRS:

Many thanks for any advice on how to search.

Hi ..
Go to the collection South Africa, Western Cape Estate Files 1953 and look for the film that may cover what you are looking for.
