Burial in Maidstone
« on: Sunday 02 October 16 16:31 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon all, I am seeking the burial of Benoni Bartholomew aged 12 in Maidstone June Qtr. 1907. I have looked in Dartford, Northfleet and Southfleet as likely sources but no joy so if anybody has the burials for Maidstone will they please have a look to see if indeed he was buried there.
Thank you,
Frenchie

In the UK Lunacy Patients Admission Registers 1846-1912, on Ancestry, there's an entry for:

Benone D Bartholomew, Kent Asylum, admitted 19 Nov (no year given on the page), died 14 May 1907.

So, if you can find out where the Kent Asylum buried it's dead, hopefully Benoni/e will be there too.

Many thanks SmallTownGirl for your speedy reply and giving me the actual date of his death at the Mental hospital which was at Braming Heath, Maidstone. If he was buried at Oakwood Cemetry which according to the net 7000 asylum patients and staff were buried there, it is being turned into a public open space. Once again many thanks.
