Name Thomas APSLEY Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Bef 1583 - IF I am right that the two Apsley grandchildren named in his mother's will were his chidlren, and assuming aged at least 22 to have two children by the time the same will was written in 1617 then born before 1695. If in addition it was his son Thomas who was baptised in 1603, and that he was no younger than 20 when he became a father then before 1583.

Clothier - When his marriage licence was issued.

Father George APSLEY, b. Est 1550, bur. 29 Sep 1613, St. George’s Church, Benenden, Kent, England (Age ~ 63 years) Mother Mary, d. Between 8 Oct 1617 and 23 Nov 1617 Married - In her will Mary refers to daughters 'Debora and Anne'. Deborah being a fairly unusual name at the time I think we can be reasonably confident that it was the same Deborah who was shown as daughter of George when baptised, and hence that George and Mary were husband and wife.

Family Dorothy MARCKLYE, d. Yes, date unknown Married Abt 1601 St. Margaret’s Church, Canterbury, Kent, England - Assumed from marriage licence.
Thomas's mother Mary left bequests to her grandsons Thomas Apslye and George Apsly and to "there five bretheren". This suggests that by 1617 Thomas and Dorothy had had seven sons who were then living. The absence of a mention of any daughters suggests if they had had any they had died, but it is possible that 'brethren' was being used as male forms often are to include the female when there is a mixture of the two, and that the five unnamed included daughters as well as sons.
