Hi Sharon (and Becky)
Maybe one of these government departments can be of help to you - the South
African Directorate of Surveys and Land Information, or the National Place
Names Committee.

For info, there is a book - Claremont, Newlands and Bishopscourt Street
Names - by Peter HART, published in 1999.
