Name William COAST Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1803 Lenham, Kent, England 
- From the age given in the death register index
Baptised St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England [1] Gender Male Occupation From 1828 to 1861 Lenham, Kent, England Carpenter (journeyman) - Shown as a carpetner when all of his children were baptised, and a journeyman in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
Occupation 1861 Lenham, Kent, England Carpenter (Master) - William had risen to be a Master Carpenter by the time of the 1861 census. In 1861 he was employing one man and an apprentice; the latter was Alfred Carlton, aged 14, born Hernehill, who was living with the family.
Lodging next door was William's brother-in-law Jesse Hunt, also a carpenter - possibly the one that William was employing.
Possibly William expanded the business to become a builder before this death as his widow was described as a builder in the 1871 census.

Family Maria HUNT, bap. 27 Jul 1795, St. Mary’s Church, Lenham, Kent, England , d. Mar Q 1875, Hollingbourne Reg Dist, Kent, England (Age ~ 79 years) Married 3 Dec 1825 All Saints’ Church, Maidstone, Kent, England - From mid-Kent marr index - 1825 03 December, HUNT Maria to William Coast, Maidstone (All Saints)
William's half sister Ann also married a Hunt - John Hunt. Obviously Hunt is a common surname but I thought there might be a link. The John she married was born about 1822 in Rotherhithe; but how had they met? The married in 1852 and at the time of the 1851 census Ann was visiting her half-sister Martha Rattenbury (nee Coast) and her family, in Rotherhithe. I think Ann probably met John while staying with Martha, and there is probably no link between John Hunt and my Hunt ancestors, but haven't ruled out the possibility that John was from a family who had moved from Lenham to Rotherhithe.
John and Ann Hunt did not use any of the distinctive names used in the family that would suggest a link to the Lenham family (Basil, Springfield, Sibella)
