GRO ref: Goatham, Ada Sybella to Sell, Frank Day q3 1901 Blean RD 2a 1851
Although Frank names Thomas as his father, I think it save to assume that this was not true, that the 1881 and 1901 censuses are accurate in showing him as the grandson of Thomas and Phoebe, and that Frank was naming a father here to disguise the fact he was illegitimate.
