with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 1803 Bredgar, Kent, England 
Baptised 29 May 1803 St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England - Details extracted for me in the 1970s, sent by letter; confirmed by image of PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 April 2019) (surname given as Gotham)
Gender Female Residence 1841 Blean, Kent, England - Living with John & 4 children (George, Caroline, Eliza, James) in Blean at the time of the 1841 census.
Residence 1851 Hackington, Kent, England - Living with John and 2 daus (Eliza and Mary) in Hackington (otherwise known as St Stephens) at the time of the 1851 census
Residence 1861 Chartham Hatch, Kent, England - Just with husband in Chartham Hatch at the time of the 1861 census.

GRO ref: ANDREWS, Caroline q1 1865 Bridge RD 2a 430 (Hackington is in Bridge RD); GRO online index shows age as 62
Although Caroline was buried in Hackington, it is quite likely she and John were still living in Chartham Hatch (as at the time of the 1861 census). With 3 sons already buried at Hackington, it would not be surprising if Caroline was taken the 5 miles back to the village to be buried. Alternatively, she may have been cared for by a child still living in Hackington in her final illness, or died in hospital in Canterbury.

Goatham Family Prayer Book
A Prayer Book recording the births of the children of Charles and Sybilla Goatham (except Elisha - was this accidental or was there a reason?)
Given that Sybilla was descended from Thomas Becon who is believed to have written part of the prayer book (in particular, the catechism is thought to be his work) it seems appropriate they used a Prayer Book rather than a Bible - was this a deliberate choice for this reason or chance? - I suspect the latter.…
