      Although Mary subsequently married Thomas Acres, for whom she began housekeeper sometime between 1861 and 1871, he was evidently not accepting the need to support her two living children in 1868, or she feared he might not continue to do so, as she applied for a bastardy order:
      "... sessions on Thursday last, before the Mayor, G. Hughes and B. iluzoli [tbc], Esqrs., the only case being an application by Mary Goatham for orders in bastardy against Thomas Acres, of Upper Deal, who she alleged was the father of her two illegitimate children ..."

      Date and church from announcement in the "Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald", Saturday 27 November 1875.
      "Deal-Nov 18, at St. Leonard's Church, Mr. T. Acres, of Upper Deal, to Mary Ann Goatham."
      Also from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Mar 2017)
      "No. 121 Nov. 18th
      Thomas Acres, 48, Widower, Farmer, residence: Upper Deal, father: William Acres, Confectioner
      Mary Goatham, 37, Spinster, [no occupation given], residence: Upper Deal, father: George Goatham, Carpenter
      This Marriage was solemnized between us, Thomas Acres, Mary Goatham
      in the Presence of us, William Cooper, [forenames unclear*] Marsh"
      * - unclear in old LDS image on FMP in 2012, might be legible in register or in better quality image

      The births of all Mary's six children, and the deaths of those who died in infancy, were all registered as Goatham. The only two to survive infancy subsequently appear to have used Acres consistently - when with their mother, and possible father, in 1881, and in the 1891 and 1901 censues, after which in 1906 Harry died and Bessie married.
