Michael GOATHAM

Abt 1674 - 1707  (~ 32 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Michael GOATHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Abt 1674
  Baptised	31 Jan 1674/75	St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 7 Nov 2021) "Goattam: Michael son of Jo & Margaret Goattam bap the 31 January"
  Gender	Male
  Military Service	1702
  	Mariner in the Royal Navy
  	Michael's will refers to him serving on HMS Comet, a Bomb ketch. This was involved in the bombarding of Barcelona (source), during the War of the Spanish Succession and was captured by the French. Since this took place in 1706 and probate was granted on Michael's will in 1707 (I think - though E Kent wills index says 1706) it seems probable that he died in active service - especially as there seems to be no burial record for him in St. Laurence (Ramsgate), though there is for his wife.
  Will	14 Jul 1702
  	Written
  		The will of Michael Goatham (c. 1674/5 - c. 1706/7) (a 1st cousin 8x removed of mine)
  Died	Between 1706 and 1707
  	Probate granted 1707, must have died before then, probably not long before but could be some time (will made 1702 so after that) No sign of Michael's burial in the PRs for St. Lawrence. I think he probably died in active service in the RN - see 'occupation' entry.
  Probate	22 Nov 1707	Consistory Court, Canterbury, Kent, England
  Siblings	3 brothers and 1 sister
