In the baptismal record of their son, Alfred, they are recorded as being "of Bailies Grave"

Here is an interesting paragraph about Bailie's Grave from this web page: http://www.ancestors.co.za/cemetery-records/historical-graves-in-south-africa/

"A significant number of British settlers and sons of the 1810 Settlers were killed in battle in the Frontier Wars. At least one had the place he was buried named after him – Bailie’s Grave near Keiskammahoek in the Ciskei; Charles Bailie, son of Lt. John Bailie, the founder of East London, was killed here in the Sixth Frontier War. Settler cemeteries in various parts of the Eastern Province contain the graves of many leading pioneers."
