• Name	John Thomas (“English Jack”) GOATHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	2 May 1880	Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	Aged 11 months at the time of the 1881 census GRO ref: GOATHAM, John Thomas q2 1880 Milton RD 2a 869; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Goodson Probably born 2nd May - US naturalisation cert shows his dob as 2 May 1877! I think it was this John Thomas but that he'd gained 3 years.

  Emigrated	1910
  	A John Tomas (sic) Goatham is listed in Filby's Passenger and Immigration lists index, arriving in Illinois in 1910. A US naturalisation cert shows his dob as 2 May 1877! I think it was this John Thomas but that he'd gained 3 years. A WW1 draft registrationadds weight to this. The date is again shown as 2 May 1877, but next of kin as Mrs H Perkins (sister), resident in Old Kent Road. Whilst I can't find a sister of John's to fit, his brother and sister-in-law, William Goatham and Louisa, were living in the Old Kent Road at the time of the 1911 census and Louisa's maiden name was Perkins.
  Military Service	Registered for WW1 draft
  	From 1917	Illinois, USA
  	If I am right and John Thomas was the one who 'gained' 3 years, then there is a World War I Draft Registration Card for him, showing that he registered in Illinois in 1917 (info. on FMP, from U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards,1917-1918; starting in 1917, more than 24 million Americans  registered for the draft.
