Burial register lookup please

Hello,
I have a Martha JUDGE death registered Jul-Aug-Sep 1929 Wallingford, Berkshire. She was a patient at Fair Mile hospital (previously Berkshire asylum and Moulsford lunatic asylum) in Cholsey since the 1880s so wonder whether she is buried near here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as she went to the asylum when her four children were very young (all got split up and lived with different family members) and her husband died in the 1890s so I wonder if any of them even knew when she died. I would really like to know where she is.
Thankyou for your time.

Hi Mrstar

According to the Ex OFHS transcripts for Cholsey Burials

1929 21 Sep JUDGE Martha Berks Mental Hospital 73

from these its not clear if she was buried at St Marys Cholsey or the Hospital But as the page headed Fairmile hospital burials stops at  1917 and the page Martha is on is headed Church Burials suggests that she is at St Mary's Churchyard

Thankyou so much, this really means a lot.

Hi

The NBI gives

21 Sept 1926  Martha Judge 73 Berkshire  Cholsey St Mary

So it does look as if she was definitely buried in the churchyard.

Does that help?

This is all really helpful, thankyou so much. I have not come across another Martha Judge yet but I will now look. This is my mother-in-laws family (her maiden name was Judge) and Martha was her g grandmother and she will be thrilled we now know where she is.
I don't suppose Martha's husband John Judge is also buried here? Though I doubt it as he lived in Stokenchurch.
Thankyou also for the info regarding Fair mile - we would like to find out why she was admitted, leaving her four young children, and why she was there so long. 
Thankyou again I will ring my m-in-law now and tell her

have sent you a PM with an extract from an article I was reading today about Fair Mile

My great aunt Alice Maud FENTIMAN died in Fair Mile Hospital on 30 August 1908 at the age of 33, and was buried on 3rd September. The National Burial Index specifies the burial place as the County Lunatic Asylum, but I have not located any other burials there, nor is any cemetery listed or mapped in the current forms for planning change of use applications. Another source suggested she is buried in Cholsey churchyard, but I have not been able to find a reference to a grave there either. Can anyone identify where she might actually be?

Hi

She is actually recorded twice on the index as being buried on 3rd September 1908 - once as you say at the County Lunatic Asylum and once at Cholsey, St Mary.
