Name William HALKE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born - About 1586, as said in Court of Chancery case of 1597 to have been aged about six when his father died about 5 years before (TNA ref: C2/Eliz/H13/21)
Baptised 29 Jun 1585 St. Mary the Virgin’s Church, Elham, Kent, England 
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 28 Dec 2015)
"Wyllm Hauke the son of George Hauke Bap: 29 of Maye 1585"
Gender Male Occupation Hastingleigh, Kent, England Yeoman - William was described as a yeoman when his son George became an apprentice in 1624.
His holding seems to have been much more humble than that of Richard Haulke, who appears in the same 1618 manor survey, details on the Hastingleigh website
Occupation 1605 Hastingleigh, Kent, England Husbandman - at the time of his marriage
Died Aft 1624 - Still alive because he signed his son's apprenticeship papers
Siblings1 brother and 1 sister Patriarch & Matriarch 
John HALKE, b. Est 1433, d. 1492, Wye, Kent, England (Age ~ 59 years) (3 x Great Grandfather) 
Anne CARDEN, b. Est 1562, d. Yes, date unknown (Mother)Notes - I don't know for certain how William was related to the other Hastingleigh Halkes or others in the area, though the relationship I suggest now seems to me probable, hence me linking this William as the son of George.
Though it is natural to look for a close connection as the family had been in the area for many years he could have been a fairly distant cousin.
He was clearly not the son of John (grandfather of Dr William Harvey); his son William became Rector of Upminster, and whilst it was far from unknown for family to have 2 children with the same Christian name the fact he is not mentioned in the wills of either of John's sons Richard or William suggests a more distant link.
Richard choose William of Brabourne, probably no more closely related than 1st cousin, to be his executor, rather than this William, again suggesting the link was not particularly close (although of course other factors may determine the choice of executor).
I think he was probably the William referred to in a Court of Chancery case of 1597 (TNA ref: C2/Eliz/H13/21).
The William in the Court of Chancery case had a father named George, and the yeoman / husbandman of Hastingleigh who married Elizabeth Ward called his son George.

Other Partners: Henry BORMAN m. 19 Aug 1592Married 25 Nov 1583 St. Mary the Virgin’s Church, Elham, Kent, England - From East Kent Marriage Index (on FMP, viewed 28 Dec 2015)
(Shows Geo Hawke married Ann Carden)
PRs go back to January 1583/4 and then there is a gap until 1577; since the marriage of George amd Anne took place during this gap the information is probably from the ATs, esp. as the lack of a marriage licence entry in Cowper suggests the data is not from that source.
Not many 'Hawke(s)' events in Elham, but a Rychard Haukes was buryed there on 29 Apr 1584. Was he an infant son of George and Anne, or possibly George's son by a previous marriage?

Family Elizabeth WARD, b. Abt 1583, (probably), Sellindge, Kent, England , d. Yes, date unknown Married 1605 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Hastingleigh, Kent, England - William and Elizabeth may well have had other children, especially in the gap between their marriage and the baptism of George.
In particular, Richard could be a son of theirs.
Marriage License 18 Apr 1605 Canterbury, Kent, England - "Hawke, William, of Hastingleigh, husb., and Elizabeth Ward of Sellinge, v., 22. At St. M. Bredman's. Edward Goldfinche of Chilham, wheeler, bonds. April 18, 1605."
