Charles Henry GOATHAM

1865 - 1910  (~ 45 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Charles Henry GOATHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Jun Q 1865	Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Goatham, Charles Henry q2 1865 Milton RD 2a 678; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Eason.
  Baptised	28 May 1865	Holy Trinity Church, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  Gender	Male
  Education	1871
  	Scholar
  Occupation	1881
  	Sailor
  	As well as being recorded as a sailor in the 1881 census, the half yearly account of voyages on the 'Charlie', which made 12 voyages from the port of Faversham to London with bricks, shows that Charles was briefly employed as Mate, with just one other member of the crew, the owner and master Joseph Street of Sittingbourne, aged about 47. It would seem Charles didn't like the work, as he joined on 15 April, following the discharge of the previous Mate (who seems to have been on the vessel since the start of the year) but left just 9 days later.
  Occupation	From 1890 to 1910
  	Fisherman
  	From his marriage PR entry, the 1891 census, and when he witnessed his father's will in 1892. Also the occupation recorded on his death certificate.
  Residence	1891	Billett Cottage, London Road, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	With his wife and daughter Annie, at no. 20 London Road. Next door at no. 19 (also Billett Cottage) was his wife's mother and three sons. By 1901 there is just one entry for Billett Cottage. Charles and his wife Clara and their 4 children were all shown as living with Clara's step-father, mother, brothers Thomas and Reginald and Thomas's wife.
  Witness to will	16 Sep 1892	Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	To his father's will
  Misc.	From 26 Jul 1897 to 25 Jul 1898	Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	Portreeve
  Occupation	1901
  	Licensed victualler (retired)
  	A strange description for a 35 year old, but perhaps he was already ill with the TB from which he would die before the next census.
  Census	31 Mar 1901	Billett Cottage, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  Occupation	1907
  	Fish-merchant
  	from his mother's will (probate calendar index)
  Residence	1910	13, Arthur Street, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	His home at the time of his death.
  Occupation	Hotel Proprietor
  	He had been a hotel proprietor according to the marriage PR entry for his daughter Annie; I think this might be stretching the truth - that rooms had been available in his pub.
  Died	2 May 1910	Farleigh House, Sandgate, Kent, England
  	Cause: Pulmonary tuberculosis/Exhaustion
  	GRO ref: Goatham, Charles Henry q2 1910 aged 46 Elham RD 2a 603 Farleigh House was a sanitorium for those with TB. Details from death registration (GRO register entry)
  Siblings	2 brothers and 1 sister

  Notes	At the time of the 1881 census Charles was "third hand OS" on the vessel "Isabella" at Ramsgate. Living in London Rd, Milton 1891 (19 - Billett Cottage); with parents in law & bro-in-law & his wife. With his own family (1901) - Billett Cott. The 1911 census shows Charles and Clara had had 4 children, 3 still alive in 1911. It also shows the names and ages of 4 children! These include George Gotha, who I thought was the one who died in 1902 - was it believed this list should show all? Or was Annie Maria not a "child of the marriage"? Her birth was reg as a Goatham, but in the same quarter as her "parents" marriage!

  Father	Henry GOATHAM,   b. Abt 1822, Bredgar, Kent, England ,   d. 8 Apr 1894, Jolly Sailors' Inn, 21, Flushing Street, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England  (Age ~ 72 years)
  Mother	Harriett Pemily EASON,   b. Jun Q 1840, Milton next Sittingbourne, Kent, England ,   d. 13 Sep 1907, Milton Reg Dist, Kent, England  (Age ~ 67 years)
  Married	27 Apr 1861	St. Mary’s Church, Chatham, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Goatham, Henry to Eason, Harriett Pemily q2 1861 Medway RD 2a 515 Although the marriage certificate shows both Henry and Harriet as resident in Chatham, Harriet had lived with her family in Flushing Street in Milton, where her mother and siblings were still living in 1861, although by then Harriet had moved to live where she was working, in Chatham. Less than 3 weeks before the wedding Henry was living with a sister and her family in Milton. Perhaps he described himself as living in Chatham to save the need to arrange for banns to be read in Milton. While Harriet's residence in the parish would have enabled them legally to marry in Chatham, many marriages seemed to take place there where neither of the couple was resident. The large size of the parish and the number of transitory residents due to the dockyard probably made it effectively impossible to check that at least one of a couple was resident (as required by the 1753 Hardwicke Act)
