Isabell GOATHAM



-
Name Isabell GOATHAM Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1837 Bredgar, Kent, England Baptised 12 Feb 1837 St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Jun 2019)
Gender Female Occupation From 1861 to 1871 Dressmaker Residence 1871 Mackie’s Yard, Sittingbourne, Kent, England - With her husband and 3 children.
Residence 1881 12, The Wall, Sittingbourne, Kent, England - Cubison was shown as unmarried and Isabel as a widow Isabel Gillingham, although Cubison had been married (and still was, as his wife didn't die until 1905, although she seems to have had a new partner by 1881, having had a son, probably with the new partner, in 1880), and Isabel too was still married.
Residence 1891 1, Cross Street, Sittingbourne, Kent, England Residence 1901 10, Station Street, Sittingbourne, Kent, England Died 1 May 1907 2, Wickham Terrace, Queenborough, Sheppey, Kent, England Cause: Cerebral Hæmorrhage - No death found in Kent with Isabel recorded with the surname Gillingham but she had been living as a Warren and was recorded as his wife when she died.
GRO ref: WARREN, Isabel q2 1907 aged 70 Sheppey RD 2a 563
Although she was still in Sittingbourne at the time of the 1901 census, her partner was in Queenborough on Sheppey (i.e. in Sheppey RD) by the time of the 1911 census; this death registration suggests they had moved there together between 1901 and 1907.
(Looking for the death registration I looked on FreeBMD for Isabel* born 1830-1845, died 1881-1937, with surnames Gillingham and Warren)
Her death certificate (GRO copy) shows the informant as her son 'J. Warren'. However, she had no son with a name beginning with 'J' (other than James who had died as a boy many years before). I think it was probably Victor, and his name / initial was mis-read when the GRO copy was made.

Separated Bef 1881 - William and Isabell were living separately at the time of the 1881 census (3/4 April) and not found together in subsequent censuses.
They appear to have separated between 1871 and 1881, probably by 1875 when Isabel seems to have had a son whose father was not William.

Family 2 Cubison Stickles WARREN, b. Abt 1844, Wye, Kent, England , d. 18 Oct 1924, May Tree Farm, Upper Hardres, Kent, England
(Age ~ 80 years)
Other Partners: Matilda Harriett FARRINGTON m. 14 Mar 1866Married Aft 1871 - Between 1871 and 1881 Isabel and her husband William Gillingham separated and by 1881 Isabel was living with Cubison Warren. The Christian names of Isabel's two children born in 1875 and 1881 plus both later using the surname Warren suggest that Cubison Warren was their father, and that suggests Isabel and Cubison may have been living together by 1875.
Cubison was also married when he and Isabel got together. The 1871 census suggests that he had separated from his wife by then.
Cubison and Isabel appear never to have married, although while Isabel and her children were recorded with the surname Gillingham in the 1881 census, by the 1891 they were using the surname Warren, with Cubison and Isabel appearing as husband and wife (as they did too in 1901).
Isabel would have been free to remarry after her husband died in 1904, and Cubison after his wife died in 1905, so there was a small window when they could legally have done so. Maybe they didn't know, maybe after 30 years of living as though married it just didn't seem worth the trouble.
Married? Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry Children
