K C M H
« on: Tuesday 18 October 16 15:03 BST (UK) »
Looking at the Creed Register for the Medway Union for 1900-1930 I can see several mentions of K C M H next to the date of discharge.

Does anyone have an idea of what it stands for?  I thought possibly a hospital but I can't find one that matches.

The initials do come up if you google them + Kent.  One of the examples may confirm what it stands for.

Added - yes that looks to be it wot Stevie said.

The Creed Register recorded the religious beliefs of inmates.

So, it's looks like it's the Kent County Mental Hospital, Chartham

Why would people from Medway be sent to Chartham not Maidstone?

That would be Oakdale Hospital, Barming Heath, Maidstone.
My aunt was Matron there in the 1960s.
