    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born Abt 1645 
    • A rough estimate based on estimate of dob of his son.
    Gender Male 
    Paternity allegation 4 Mar 1666/67  Hucking, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Edward Springfield no longer accused 
    • * This quite likely does not refer to this Springfield, i.e. the father of William *
      However, there is a good chance it does - William and Thomas who I suspect to be his brother both named a son Edward. If it was not their father, it was probably a fairly close relation - Springfield appears not to have been a common name. And I think the document interesting, and worth recording!

    Notes 
    • (Research):I don't know that the 3 'sons' shown here were brothers -  probably fairly closely related at least.
      Many years ago I was sent Springfield PR entries for Wormshill and Wichling - going back they stop abruptly in 1700. Could be when the family moved to this area - or when the researcher had investigated back to?
      (I've also discovered that although the information was carefully and neatly presently, there were errors in most of the dates - many were a few months out, or for the previous or following year! Some of these errors are probably still on this site.

      My research -
      very feint entry for a marr
      ? Aug 5th William MONK & Ann SPRINGFIELD (under heading 1733)
