Maidstone Road & Palmerston Road Cemetery, Chatham

Is there anyone who could take a photograph of one of the gravestones in this cemetery?

[Jebber]

Are you certain there is a Gravestone there are a lot without?  And have you tried Find a Grave? They have a list of graves in both cemeteries, some have photos but not all? There is the option to request a photo.

I have relatives buried in both cemeteries but few of mine have gravestone.

I got the information from Find My Past who obtained it from the Kent Family History Society.  The grave is for Edward Henry Grist (died 7.12.1939) and his wife Harriet Amelia Grist (died 20.12.1950).  They are both buried in the same grave - Section V, Grave No 276 (U).

Maybe the (U) signifies unmarked .

It is mentioned on the Monumental Inscription database so there must be a memorial.  The other details appear to come from the burial register, could the U be Unconsecrated?

[grahamila]

I would go with unconsecrated

I’d agree that ‘U’ most likely means that they were buried in the Unconsecrated ( i.e. non-conformist) section of the cemetery.
