Actual date from death registration index and from birth register entry (GRO copy)
The informant for the birth was one A. E. Ruby, present at the birth. Looking in the 1921 census shows that this was Ann Elizabeth Ruby, a by then 39 year old, wife of a skilled bricklayer, employed by the Admiralty Royal Naval Hospital in Gillingham. Since Dorothy's father also worked for the RN, as a shipwirght, maybe her parents knew the Rubys through the naval link or as neighbours. It is not clear if Ann Ruby was a midwife or simply present for support.

Parents named in marriage registration (married as a Goatham, no mention of Bell) - 'John Henry Goatham' and 'Henrietta McGeorge'. Almost certainly made up / adjusted to hide his illegitimacy.

Occupation:

Residence:
At the time of the 1921 census William's wife and daughter were staying with his mother, but he was not present. The address at which his daughter had been born about 18 months earlier does not appear to have been the family's home, and certainly he was not there in 1921.
Maybe in navy accomodation?

Her forename was recorded as Cissy in the 1921 census.

Residence:
At the time of her marriage

Occupation:
Shown as her last occupation and employer in the 1921 census. Given that it was in Falkirk, it must be before she left there, which was in 1919, between her marriage in March and the birth of her daughter in Nov. Possibly she gave up work on marriage.

Occupation:
Kelly's Directory of Kent, Surrey & Sussex, 1891 shows on p.291 a "Goatham Henrietta (Miss), greengrocer, 43 Medway road" - in the Gillingham section.
I think this can only be this Henrietta, but need to try to find her in the 1891 census.

Buried:
From transcribed data from burial register (on KFHS CD 40)

Notes:

Married:
Given that Henrietta's son William was registered as a BELL when he was born I guess that she was in a relationship with a Mr Bell at the time, but there appears to have been no marriage, and by the time William was 3, when the 1891 census took place, Henrietta and William were back living with her parents.
When he married William gave his father's name as John Henry GOATHAM. Those who were illegitimate often seem to have made up names to hide their illigetimacy, but were John Henry the Christian names of his real father?
No, buying a copy of William's birth registration shows is father was William Richard BELL, and this cannot have been a husband invented by Henrietta for decency's sake as it was William Richard who registered his son's birth.

(None were in Sheppey RD; I have not tried to match the death against other John Bells in the censuses, but admon. was granted to a William Richard Bell, so almost certainly the death was this John Bell.)

John married Elizabeth WORSFOLD on 3 Dec 1860 in St. John the Evangelist’s Church, Lambeth, London, England. Elizabeth was born on 20 Jul 1827 in Tower Hill, London, England; was christened on 19 Aug 1827 in St. Botolph’s Church, Aldgate, London, England; died between 1871 and 1881.

George may well have been the Parish Clerk up until he left Bredgar, probably in the 1860s, unless he was suffering from ill-health before this. Usually it was a post for life, but George left the parish before this. The PRs may gives clues as to when he became the parish clerk and when he ceased to act as such - not yet studied. Certainly by 1843, the earliest record of which I know so far recording his in this role.
At the same time as carpenter - recorded as such at baptism of his youngest in 1843, also 1851 census and when his wife Lucy died (given as his sole occupation on her death cert.)

Shows William son of Edmund and Elizabeth LEEDS
I have no plans to continue the family further back and so have down little investigation into the LEEDS family. I can see on Ancestry trees those that show parents for William show a different couple. However, I can also see that this is based on assuming the William living in Woodchurch in 1841 was the son of this William. There was another William living in Brabourne who is a 'better fit' and who others also take to be the son of this William!
Hence I think it most likely that the baptism in Mersham is that of this William.

William married Jane HIGHSTEAD on 4 Mar 1783 in St. Mary’s Church, Smeeth, Kent, England.

[Family Group Page] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Residence: 1783, Smeeth, Kent, England

Notes:

Baptised:
No baptism of a Jane Hi(gh)ste(a)d (etc. - variants beginning with 'H') found other than one baptised in Kingsnorth in 1764* but there is this baptism of a Jane Isted. The date suggests a date of birth which agrees with the age given at the burial of the Jane Leeds who was probably this Jane. Also, it was in Aldington, and the Jane Leeds who died in 1835 left a will appointing as her executor someone from Aldington, suggesting she may have had a link with that parish. (Also, there is no other marriage or burial of a Jane Isted within 20 miles of Aldington in the index on FMP, as at 21 Nov 2019, who could be this Jane).

From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Nov 2019)
"Jane Daugh^r. of John & Eliz^th. Isted bap^d. Decr: the 19^th."

* - it seems unlikely the Jane who married William Leeds was the one baptised in Kingsnorth, but she could be. The other Jane seems to have married Samuel Clover in Mersham in 1790, when she was of Willesborough and Samuel of Mersham. They had two children baptised in Mersham, but both appear to have been buried in Sevington.
There is some fairly slight evidence against from the places - neither Jane was 'of' the place they had been baptised at the time of their marriages, but it is more likely that the Jane baptised in Kingsnorth was later 'of' the adjacent parish of Willesborough, whilst the Jane baptised in Aldington was 'of' the adjacent parish of Smeeth when she married. However, all the parishes are close enough it could have been the other way around. Both the burial record and death registration for Jane Clover are consistent with a 1764 baptism, as is the 1841 census which failed to round down her age and gives it as 77. Jane Leeds died too early for her death to be registered but the age recorded in the burial register is consistent with her Dec 1762 baptism - provided she had been born after July. Neither Jane would have been 21 by March 1783, judging by the dates of baptism and recorded ages at death, so the marriage should show parental consent, which it does not. It seems more likely that the Jane baptised Aldington, only a few months short of 21, was claiming to be of age rather than Jane baptised Kingsnorth, probably just turned 19 (or did Jane from Aldington not need consent as both her parents were dead?).
With 3 arguments favouring the Jane baptised Aldington I think it reasonable to conclude that is who married William Leeds. (Too peripheral to this tree to pursue further, but looking at the names of siblings / aunts / uncles, to see if there seem to be any names used by the Clover and Leeds couples might help).
