Hi Ch3eky

I would suggest getting in touch with the burials department at Medway council - see the link under the cemeteries section on the following page of links:

Do let us know how you get on :)

Hi Ch3eky

Did you have any luck with finding his burial?

Hello Casalguidi,

Thankyou for your reply.

No luck. When I asked at the council it was quite expensive as they had to do a search.

Best wishes

Ch3eky.

Hi Ch3eky,
Castle Road Chatham is still there, you can find it by searching on multimap.com and once you have fixed it, you could then have great fun zooming in on it using googlearth.
Cheers

Hello Dave, Thanks for the info, never thought to take a look on Googlearth. It will be interesting to see where they lived as Grandad was always telling us about his allotment in the back garden and chickens they kept. Many thanks. Ch3eky.
