Name Stephen QUAIF Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1717 - Based on date of his wife's baptism and of their marriage
Gender Male church From 1752 to 1756 All Saints’ Church, Whitstable, Kent, England Parish Clerk - Described as Clerk when his children were baptised; I believe he was the "Parish Clerk" rather than a "Clerk in Holy Orders". All the PR entries around this time are signed off by Tho. Patten, Curate, and Stephen can be found witnessing marriages from 1757 - 1786. He doesn't appear to have died in 1786 though (or if he did, he wasn't buried in Whitstable) - maybe he left the town to live with a child in his old age.
Buried 24 Oct 1790 St. Alphege’s Church, Seasalter, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 Feb 2013):
"Octr. 24. Buried my old Clerk, Stephen Quaif" (I think this is probably written by C(?) E Plater, Vicar)
Notes - (Research):Too early to be Stephen's father, but in 1675 a Thayts Quaife was buried in Seasalter: "May 2 Thayts Quaife housholder Clerke of this p[ari]sh. Buried."

Family Elizabeth GOATHAM, bap. 25 Jun 1721, St. John the Baptist Church, Swalecliffe, Kent, England , bur. 12 Oct 1763, St. Alphege’s Church, Seasalter, Kent, England (Age ~ 42 years) Married 4 Oct 1743 St. Alphege’s Church, Seasalter, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 Feb 2013):
"Stephen Quaif and Eliz. Goatham were married by Banns Oct-4-1743"
(Stephen could have married the Elizabeth bapt in 1725, but an Elizabeth "of Whitstable" also marr in 1741 (to Wm Webb), and the burial of a son of that marriage gives the Goatham grandfather's name - it was Michael, not George, so it seems it was this Elizabeth who married Stephen.)
FMP images jump from Feb 1747-8 at bottom of a right hand page to 14 May 1749 at top of a left page i.e. nothing for 15 months? - possible, but I wonder if 2 pages were turned at once
Burials - gap in PRs from 1669 to 1763
