I don't now the connection with Edward - just a friend or relation? Edward's bro had married a Margaret Hubbard; was Jane a sister-in-law of Margaret?
Died - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 8 Oct 2014)
Buried 15 Apr 1719 St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England Siblings3 brothers Half-siblings3 half brothers, 2 half sisters and 1 person of an unknown gender (family of George GOATHAM and Mildred ) Patriarch & Matriarch 
Notes - (Research):Given the small number of Goatham's in St. Lawrence I believe Edward, like John, moved from elsewhere.
I think they were most probably brothers, from Herne, 2 of the sons of George and Joan Goatham. (Though I don't know for certain they are these 2 sons - I have not yet worked through the burial registers to check they didn't die in infancy)
Alternatively, from the dates of their marriages, it is just possible that Edward could be a son of John Goatham and Margaret nee Hubbard, but not only have I come across no evidence of a baptism or a gap in their older children in which he could have been born, but he would have been unusually young to marry. He could have been a son of John's by a previous marriage and moved to St. Lawrence with his father, or a nephew encouraged by his uncle to move there for work.

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

Family Susanna MARTEN, b. Est 1660, d. 24 Nov 1741, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England (Age ~ 81 years)
Other Partners: John CURLING m. 3 Dec 1682Married 4 Jun 1688 St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England - From PR image (on FMP, viewed 10 Dec 2012):
"Edw Goattam & Susanna Curling married the 4 June"
Whilst there is no indication of marital status, the entry immediately before shows "Daniel Stephens & Wid. Mary Cocke ..." (my emphasis) which may suggest Susanna was a spinster, although her son Edward's reference to "my brother John Curling" and a family to fit with John being her son suggests she wasn't.
Offspring Son Robert? - In 1731 there was a Chancery Court case in which one of a number of plaintiffs was Robert Goatham, a butcher of St Giles in the Fields [London].
I'm not certain who this Robert was, but it seems quite likely he was a son of Edward and Susanna.
1. This family had links to London - their son John and daughter Mary both married there.
2. There is a gap between known children, with baptisms every other year 1689 to 1693, then none until 1702. It seems likely they did have more children born during this gap.
3. Son John named a son Robert. John was into using family names '96 his first son was named Edward, his father's name, also that of a brother, then he had one named John, presumably after himself. But why did he use the name Robert? I have no close relation Robert in his or his wife's family. Could it be because there was a missing brother Robert?
