I found these few marriages for the Cradock outlying areas. There were only
19 of them recorded in the 10 year period but hopefully they will help
someone! I must say that I learnt something from these records - I would
have assumed that Maraisburg was the one in Johannesburg and I would never
have bothered to look at these records except that I found them by accident!
They have been filmed on a Transvaal film so perhaps the folks who made the
copies thought the same thing!

The information comes from the following Films:

Item # 18 Microfilm# 1560910
Wesleyan Methodist - Maraisburg Cradock District

Some writing is difficult to read and I have indicated with a ? if I am not
sure what it was. Please let me have any corrections that you can make.

The information is in the following order:
