Has 12 ancestors and 36 descendants in this family tree.
Set As Default Person 
-
Name John GOATHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born - Marr licence suggest born about 1645. Baptism might have been delayed due to the turbulent times? Or was he just increaing his age to bring it closer to his brides (looks like she may have decreased hers to do the same)
Baptised 16 Sep 1646 St. Martin’s Church, Herne, Kent, England 
- PR in Canterbury. Year unclear.
Gender Male Occupation 1670 St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England Carpenter - shown in marriage licence
Died - Still alive when his wife died in 1706 and I now think that we can be fairly sure the John who was buried 9 May 1726 was this John.
(the son who I thought another possibility appears from a grant of admon. to have died in Liverpool in 1690)

Could have had more children - records disrupted by war and protectorate. A Thomas died in Rotherhithe in 1688 - was he a son?
