Hi Lis
Interested in your post for two reasons!  One I have Variegate Porphyria, which is not that common so I'm always interested in it, and two I live just outside of Sittingbourne!  I concur with the comments that Keycol was primarily an isolation hospital, but would be interested to find out the place of death.  However there was a mental institution at Chartham near Canterbury and that fell under the Bridge registration district; I have a GG Aunt that died there in 1918
Cheers
Alex

Sorry Alex that I could not help more. I help a lot of people with their trees and this was several years ago I cannot remember anything about this.
When I get home I will see what I can find.
all the best

Perhaps you could look at Oakwood Hospital Barming Heath near Maidstone, that was a  psychiatric hospital, it was founded as the County Lunatic Asylum. I had a relative with dementia who died there  in 1877.
