with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 31 May 1696 St. Nicholas’ Church, Sturry, Kent, England 
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed on 8 Oct 2014):
"George the son of Richard Goatham & Mary Bap: May the 31" - under heading '1696'
Gender Male Buried 29 Jan 1758 All Saints’ Church, Whitstable, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP):
Under headings "Burials" and "1758" -
"George Goatham Housholder, Do [Jan] 29"
The PRs show the George buried as "householder". I am guessing it was this George - seems to fit best - though it could have been a George from an older generation.

Family Jane STANES, b. Est 1698, bur. 3 Nov 1752, All Saints’ Church, Whitstable, Kent, England (Age ~ 54 years) Married 6 Oct 1720 St. John the Baptist Church, Swalecliffe, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Feb 2017)
"George Goatham of the Parish of Whistaple & Jane Stanes of the Parish of Swalclff were both marryed after thrice publication of the Banns. 1720 8:br 6:th"George was "of Whitstable" when they married.
There are two baptisms in Whitstable PRs for children of George and Mary Goatham: a daughter Elizabeth in 1730/31 amd son George in 1741.
The only George who it seemed could be the father was the one baptised in Herne in 1704, son of Thomas and Margaret.
However, there is no evidence of a marriage, nor of a burial for the wife Mary, and the ten year gap between the children is unusual.
Whilst it is clear that Whitstable PRs were not well kept at this time, it seems to be mostly burials that are missing, but George (one of them - probably the husband / father) was buried in Herne, not Whitstable. Wife Mary could have remarried - but that cannot be found either.
Rather than a whole host of missing records etc. it could make more sense if there was an error in the baptism register, if the mother's name of 'Mary' should read 'Jane'. The baptism of daughter Elizabeth would fit neatly into what is otherwise a gap of over 5 years between the known children of George and Jane, whilst that of George fits neatly onto the end. However, in both cases this means that George and Jane would have used the same name 3 times.
