Father John GOATHAM, bap. 16 Apr 1693, St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England , d. Bef 1770 (Age ~ 76 years) Mother Anne DIGGES, bap. 14 Apr 1700, St. John the Baptist Church, Margate, Kent, England , d. Oct 1770, Margate, Kent, England (Age ~ 70 years) Married 25 Feb 1723/24 St. Benet’s Church, Paul's Wharf, City of London, London, England - Register entry "John Goatham of Ramsgate Kent B and Ann Digges of Margate Kent S by LC" - no indication of why the marriage was taking place in London.
With John being of Ramsgate, and Ann of Margate, it is not clear why they married in London. According to the website of St. Benet's "Until 1867 St Benet was the parish church of Doctors Commons, a legal institution which, among its other activities, could provide facilities for hasty marriages. There is a record, for instance, of some 1300 weddings taking place in one year alone in the Eighteenth Century." But it is not clear why they would have wanted a hasty marriage. Was Anne underage or one (or both) marrying against their father's will? Or was it just a romantic thing to do, to travel (presumably around the coast and up the Thames) to London?
