Name Christopher HALKE Prefix The Rev. Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Between 1500 and 1518 - Aged under 18 when his father wrote his will
Gender Male Miscellaneous Excommunication Occupation 4 May 1541 to 5 May 1561 Bircholt, Kent, England 
Rector - Data on CCEd website shows Christopher was Rector of Bircholt in 1541 and must have been deprived before 5 May 1561 when his successor was present.
Occupation 12 Dec 1545 to 16 Jul 1546 Cobham, Kent, England Curate - From data on CCEd website
Ref. for appointment of the next curate wasn't until 1555 - does this indicate Christopher was there until then?
The stipend for this position was from the parishioners.
Occupation 13 Apr 1548 to 2 Mar 1568/69 Wateringbury, Kent, England Perpetual Vicar - End date assumes Christopher remained vicar until Randolph Calverley was instituted on 2 Mar 1568/69. (I am assuming the date given, as 1569, is NS year)
Miscellaneous 7 Nov 1550 Restored to communion - From Archaeologia Cantiana vol.31 p.103
(in an article 'Extracts from Original Documents Illustrating the Progress of the Reformation in Kent' (short title - 'Illustrating the Reformation in Kent') by C Eveleigh Woodruff, M.A. (p.92-120)
"7 November 1550. Christopher Hawke, rector of Bircholt, certified that the altars in his church were abolished, and asked to be relieved of the sentence of excommunication which had been pronounced against him for non-compliance with the order; and the judge absolved him."
Died Yes, date unknown Siblings1 sister Patriarch & Matriarch 
John HALKE, b. Est 1433, d. 1492, Wye, Kent, England (Age ~ 59 years) (Great Grandfather) 
Agnes, d. Bef 1518 (Mother)Notes - I am not certain that the Christopher who was a priest was the Christopher, son of John and Agnes. However, I have found no further reference to him as a layman, he appears to have been about the right age (first reference I know of to him as a priest is 1541, suggesting born before 1515, last is 1569, so not likely to have been born much before 1490).
