Notes - A co-incidence: both Hilda's birth and death are recorded in the same GRO register as Rex Goatham; they were however quite distantly related (4th cousins) and so although they were born probably only about 15 miles apart, they most likely did not know each other.

Father John William GOATHAM, b. 9 Sep 1881, Challock, Kent, England
, d. Aug 1940, (probably), Sheldwich, Kent, England
(Age 58 years) Mother Emily Jane JORDAN, b. 9 Jan 1885, Sheldwich, Kent, England
, d. 9 Oct 1960, 4, Russell Terrace, Oare, Kent, England
(Age 75 years) Married 12 Oct 1904 St. Peter’s Church, Molash, Kent, England
- John says they have been married for 7 years on the 1911 census, but I have not found the marriage of a John indexed on FreeBMD (looked from 1900 to 1910, with a phonetic search on surnames). However, there is marr of a "William John" marr in 1904, which I haven't been able to match to a William. There is an Emily on the same page. And as if to confirm it, this marriage took place in Molash, where John and his mother were living at the time of the 1901 census, an area in which relatively few Goatham events occurred, so not likely to be someone else.
