Name Leontine Ada (“Ada”) RICHARDSON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 7 Aug 1882 Crouch End Hill, Hornsey, Middlesex, England 
- GRO ref: Richardson, Leontine Ada q3 1882 Edmonton RD 3a 247
Place from censuses - not only were the family living in a house in Crouch End Hill in the censuses immediately before and after Leontine's birth, but the 1911 census gives the actual address. It shows the house number as 7, but I'm not sure if this is right. They were at no. 9 in 1891 - but had been at no. 17 in 1881!
Baptised 3 May 1883 Christ Church, Hornsey, Middlesex, England - From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 24 Mar 2015)
The date of birth is written in the margin next to most entries but I can't read what is next to Leontine's entry.

Family 2 Erroll Cecil Frederick GOATHAM, b. 2 Oct 1877, Croydon, Surrey, England , d. 10 Jan 1969, Milton Hospital, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England (Age 91 years) Married? Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry Notes - Presumably didn't marry because Leontine was already married.
I think that Erroll was the Goatham with whom Leontine had a relationship because he was granted administration when their daughter Doris died.
The only other male Goatham of a suitable age that I am aware of on Sheppey that Leontine could have had a relationship with was Charles Henry (born 1892); if he had been a close relation of Errolls it would be possible to speculate that Erroll could have been granted administration for Doris as a close relation rather than father, but actually Erroll and Charles Henry were quite distantly related, 3rd cousins once removed, so it seems almost certain Charles was not Leontine's partner.

Family 3 Edward Ernest TODD, b. Mar Q 1884, Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England , d. Dec Q 1957, Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England (Age ~ 73 years)
Other Partners: Alice Maud GOODWIN m. Bef 1939Married Mar Q 1916 Edmonton Reg Dist, Essex Hertfordshire or Middlesex, England - GRO ref: Richardson, Leontine A to Todd, Ernest ? q1 1916 Edmonton RD 3a 1188
(initial letter of Ernest's middle name so clogged up with ink in the index as to be uncertain. Rectangle - could be M, N, H, B but looking at other capital letters on the page it was most likely an E or an R)
Children of the marriage:
There were quite a few male Todd marriages marriages with a female Richardson on the page who could have been having children at the same or an overlapping time as Ernest and Leontine. However, most of these were in the north of England. There was, though, an Arthur H S Todd married Rosa W RIchardson in 1913 in St Giles RD (Middx / London) and so although at first the birth of a Bettine in Edmonton in 1918 seemed likely to be a child of Edward and Leontine I now believe she was the child of Arthur and Rosa, with whom she was living at the time of the 1939 register. (Arthur was born Glos. and mother's maiden name shows he was not a brother of Edward so it is unlikely they were closely related and Bettine with an uncle and aunt)
It also seems fairly safe to assume that all the other Todd births registered 1914 - 1935 with a mother's maiden name of Richardson were children of other couples (apart from Doris on Sheppey, but her birth was also indexed with her as a Goatham, and it is clearly this name she used).
