Cape Town (English church, later Cathedral of St George) | |
Transcript of the church registers at the English church (later St George's cathedral), Cape Town. Transcribed by Charles Fison.
The Military Chaplain and the Civil chaplain kept separate registers, and it is advisable to search both. The Military Chaplain's register does not appear to have any entries from 1818-1823.
Private Christenings ( often illegitimate) were listed separately but have been incorporated here and indicated with a * in the date field. A * in the BRAC field indicates that the person is mentioned in the book 'British Residents at The Cape'

Military christenings 1818-1823 |
Date transcribed | 2000-00-00 | Transcribed by | Charles Fison | Comment | The book for 1818-1823 is missing from the LDS film 1295052, probably because it was returned to the GRO when Military BMDs were reorganised c. 1875. These names were taken from the General Register Office’s Regimental birth indices, and to get more information you will have to order the certificate from the GRO. You'll probably get the date of christening and birth, parents’ names, father's regiment and rank.
