By 1903, all churchyards in Rochester and the Medway towns were closed for burials. The child would have been buried in one of the municipal cemeteries, either the St Nicholas cemetery or St Margarets Cemetery (despite their names, these are not churchyards) in Rochester, or in one of the Strood, Chatham or Gillingham cemeteries. The burials in the cemeteries are NOT on cityark. But they do have all the cemetery burial books on film at Medway Records Office. I know, as I have found the burials of a dozen or more of my ancestors in them. Happy hunting!

Thanks Simon, how are the books listed? By date perhaps as I have the date of death for her and her brother.
