South African marriages

[Guest]

Grateful for any ideas how to obtain a marriage certificate for a marriage in Cape Town in 1850. The groom was English and bride probably was too.

I've tried various South African web sites without succes.

Is there an easy way???


Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Barbara,

welcome to FTF

There is an overseas marriage index on

Birth, marriage and death records 1837 - 2005: search on findmypast

It is a PPV site, it may hold the marriage in question...

Many thanks.

Marriage of James Dixon Dye to Emma Bacon on 07/10/1850 at Cape Town.

Ohh have you found it on there then??

[Barbara]

No. This is the info I already have. I was replying to a message from Uncle John which seems to have disappeared!

[Darksecretz]

ahhh I see,

Uncle John where are you?????

are you hiding?? ;)

It was me - had to delete it as it was a look up offer for a subscription site which we don't allow in case it contravenes the conditions on the account.

I've PMed Uncle John to explain.

Hopefully he'll be in touch with you via PM Barbara
