Burial for a death Chatham,Kent!

It is possible he was buried in Maidstone Road Cemetery, if you care to post his name I will have a look in my Monumental Inscriptions fiche.

What was his name, and the date of his death in 1933? If he had a Naval funeral, it might have been reported in one or more of the local newspapers, which would give the burial place. Even if the funeral is not reported, there may an ordinary death notice, which would give the information.

I just had a look at the index to the Chatham News, and there is no obituary or funeral report for him, unfortunately. It would still be worth trying other Medway Towns papers, and even the Chatham News itself for an ordinary death notice.

You can find out what papers were in print then, and where they are held, on the NEWSPLAN site for London and the South East

I went to school not far from Castle Street, and even closer to the hospital (it's now the Medway Maritime Hospital). My brother still lives nearby, and his wife is a nurse there. Small world.

Sorry I couldn't be more help, but good luck with your search anyway.
