  Occupation	From 11 Jul 1913 to Dec 1913	NUR Folkstone Branch, Folkstone, Kent, England
  	Member of National Union of Railwaymen
  	The admission register shows Harold, a porter, for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. There was no Harold Goatham at this time, and clearly Erroll could sound like Harold with the 'h' dropped. In addtion, Erroll was recorded as a railway porter in the 191 census, so I think this entry was him.
  Occupation	From 5 Apr 1914 to Jun 1915	NUR Sheerness Branch, Sheerness, Sheppey, Kent, England
  	Member of National Union of Railwaymen
  	The admission register shows Erroll was a platelayer, for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway

  Residence	1939	150, Invicta Road, Sheerness, Sheppey, Kent, England
  	With his 'wife', daughter and one Emily Holliday. Emily's occupation ws shown as 'unpaid domestic duties', usually indicating a family member, but any link with Emily is unknown. She is shown as born 1873, so could have been a lodger / boarder with a job but now retired and still with the family. Shown as single, and with no known link to the Hollidays, no relationship is obvious. (Ref: RG101/1787A/020/23 Letter Code: DITI)

  Notes	Errol was registered as a GOTHAM at both birth and death, although the ususal spelling (for the Kent group at this time) of GOATHAM was used for other events in his life. This seems to be the last formal use of the spelling GOTHAM for one of the Kent group. (Research):2nd middle name from probate calendar entry

  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.
