Joyce BUTCHER
Set As Default Person -
Name Joyce BUTCHER Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1587 Egerton, Kent, England
- Age in marriage licence for her marriage to Daniel Godfrey; given as about 31 implies born 1587 or 8.
Place assumed from baptism.
Baptised 16 Mar 1586/87 St. James’ Church, Egerton, Kent, England
- From transcribed data on KFHS CD 33Shows Joyce BUTCHER, [no parents names shown]
The previous Butcher baptism in Egerton was in 1583, a daughter of an Abraham Butcher; the following was in 1594, a son also of Abraham.
It seems likely that Joyce was also a daughter of this same Abraham, though it is clear there were other Bu(t)cher families in the area and this cannot be assumed.
Around the same time there were baptisms of children of Abraham Butcher in Pluckley, but the timings appear to be such that they cannot be the same Abraham; hence the Abraham of Pluckley who left a will was probably this other Abraham and not the father of Joyce.

Family 1 Adrian BARLING, b. Abt 1581, Ulcombe, Kent, England
, d. Between 1613 and 1618 (Age ~ 32 years) Married 14 Nov 1608 All Saints’ Church, Ulcombe, Kent, England
- From transcribed data in East Kent marriage index (1538-1754)
Shows Adrian Barling of Ulcombe married Joyce Butcher also of Ulcombe.
Ulcombe PRs do not yet appear to be available online (neither images not indexed / transcribed data) and I have not yet looked at them at an archives office, so I have not seen an entry for the baptism of Frances. There were a number marriages of Barlings of Ulcombe in the years shortly before the birth of Frances so this is why I think her parents were Adrian and Joyce:
The marriage licence for the marriage of their daughter Frances shows that consent was given by [blank] Godfrey alias Barling. An alias in a parent's name usually means that it was a widowed and remarried mother shown with her surnames from both marriages.
There is a licence for the marriage of a widow Joyce Barling to a Daniel Godfrey in 1619, showing her as 'late wife of Adrian (?) Barling of Headcorn'. Neither Adrian nor Joyce are particularly common Christian names, so the remarriage was almost certainly Joyce the mother of Frances, and this marriage her previous one.
The KFHS transcribed data shows a Sara, dau of Adery, baptised in Frittenden on 22 May 1609; he was buried in Frittended on 5 Jan 1609/10 (again shown as daughter of Adery). The Barling study shows here as daughter of Adrian of Frittenden who died 1610 or 1611, which makes sense given the location.
