Hi Jo

I just thought .... do you know about the CityArk website?  You could trawl through the burial records for that church .....  if you've got a spare few weeks anyway!!!

It's at http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

Chezzz,

Thanks so much for your help; I really appreciate it!

Although I'm disappointed, at least I know, and that's important!

I will try to find the mailing address of the church vicarage; thanks for the idea!

Hi, Jen!

Thank you, I do know about CityArk:  it is my favourite website!  ; ) 

The last time I looked, they didn't have much in the way of more recent (late 1800s & early 1900s) burials  for that church's graveyard.  I'll check again, though!

I wish every archive could do what the Medway Archives has done.  Thanks to CityArk, I was able to build a family tree that didn't exist for us before.

Regards,
Josephine

So apparently many of the headstones were cleared when medway Council bought the land and buit a playground there.  What happened to the headstone?  I read somewhere that teenagers are climbing all over them?
