    • GRO ref: GOATHAM, Mary to ACRES, Thomas q4 1875 Eastry Reg Dist 2a 1542
      Date and church from announcement in the "Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald", Saturday 27 November 1875.
      "Deal-Nov 18, at St. Leonard's Church, Mr. T. Acres, of Upper Deal, to Mary Ann Goatham."
      Also from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Mar 2017)
      "No. 121 Nov. 18th
      Thomas Acres, 48, Widower, Farmer, residence: Upper Deal, father: William Acres, Confectioner
      Mary Goatham, 37, Spinster, [no occupation given], residence: Upper Deal, father: George Goatham, Carpenter
      This Marriage was solemnized between us, Thomas Acres, Mary Goatham
      in the Presence of us, William Cooper, [forenames unclear*] Marsh"
      * - unclear in old LDS image on FMP in 2012, might be legible in register or in better quality image

      The births of all Mary's six children, and the deaths of those who died in infancy, were all registered as Goatham. The only two to survive infancy subsequently appear to have used Acres consistently - when with their mother, and possible father, in 1881, and in the 1891 and 1901 censues, after which in 1906 Harry died and Bessie married.
