Is this request in reference to this?

http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Libr/MIs/MIsPlaxtol/01.htm

Leland L Duncan died in 1923 aged 61.

Looking at the doc the last transcription recorded was dated 1900, so many years have passed since he recorded the information.

Hopefully someone can help and the headstone your are interested in still stands and is legible.

Have you asked the local history group for help?

 Thanks for the help,I have looked at all the sites suggested but they give who is buried in the churchyard but no photos.
  Maybe there's someone local who wouldn't mind taking a photo of the headstone for me. Thank you

I have contacted the local society to ask if they can take a picture for me.On the Kent Archaeology Society there is a sketch of the graveyard and all the numbers of the graves,and their positions in the graveyard so it shouldn't be too difficult to find it,if as you said it's still standing
 Once again thanks for the help
