Title: Kelly Graves in Main Cemetery, Primrose, District Germiston, Gauteng, RSA
Post by: Kelly/Parker on Tuesday 16 February 16 21:30 GMT (UK)

I have been given details of my husband's ancestors who died in South Africa:

Annie Kelly Died 25 Aug 1932
Buried Main Cemetery, Primrose, District Germiston, Gauteng, RSA
Annie Kelly recorder's sector 12.

Husband of above in same sector died 22 Jul 1926

My query was to find out if anyone is involved in taking photos of graves for relatives who live back in England and can't get there themselves. Any help appreciated.

Tombstone photographs are mainly taken by volunteers who then submit them to eggsa.org for publication.  I have looked at the photographs for Primrose Cemetery, but unfortunately the Kelly's are not there.

I know of no-one who takes photographs on request but suggest you contact eggsa and see if they know someone who might help.

Hi,

Here is a link to the Primrose Cemetery in Germiston.  The graves you are looking for are unfortunately not there but there is a "Request" button on the page.  Perhaps you could post a request there seem to be volunteers taking photos of the graves.
