George TAYLOR
Set As Default Person -
Name George TAYLOR Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born - About 1635 from age given in marriage licence, when he married Judith Ladd.
Baptised 5 May 1633 St. Peter’s Church, Bekesbourne, Kent, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Sep 2020)
"George the son of Tho: Tayler was baptized the fift of May"
This seems a likely baptism as the date is close to that suggested by his first marriage licence, and Bekesbourne is very close to Patrixbourne.
In addition, George named his first son Thomas.
Thomas had married widow Abigail Gedney in 1632. In 1664 Abigail was buried in Patrixbourne, having died leaving a will. Seeing this should confirm whether George was her son.

Yeoman - At the time of his marriage to Judith Ladd
Occupation From 1688 to 1702 Westgate, Canterbury, Kent, England
Yeoman - At the time he married Susan, and when he died.

Family 1 Judith LADD, b. Abt 1640, d. 1682 (Age ~ 42 years) Married 1665 Swingfield or St. Mary Bredin Church, Canterbury, Kent, England
- Swingfield PRs appear not to survive back to 1665; St. Mary Bredin do but marriages are only on FMP from 1755.
The earlier PRs for St Mary Bredin should be available to view at Maidstone; the ATs / BTs for both parishes at an FHC or at Maidstone.
Marriage License 6 May 1665 Canterbury, Kent, England
- "Tayler, George, of Patrixbourne, yeom.,
ba., 30, whose parents are dead, and

Family 3 Susan, d. 1713
Other Partners: HARRIS m. Bef 1676; Edward GOATHAM m. 24 Sep 1676Married Abt Sep 1688 Hoath or Swalecliffe or Hackington, Kent, England
- Assumed from marriage licence info.
Marriage not in Hackington nor Swalecliffe PRs, but there are no marriages in Swalecliffe PRs between 1678 and one in 1688 - are some missing (on the same page so no suggestion pages are missing, and different handwritings so it doesn't appear to be a transcribed version of older PRs)? Also, PRs for Hoath miss marriages for a few years including 1688.
Need to check ATs
Marriage License 12 Sep 1688 - "Taylor, George, of Westgate, Cant., yeom., widr., and Susan Goatham of Hoath. At Hoath, Swalecliffe or Hackington. Sept. 12, 1688."
(from "Canterbury Marriage Licences, Fourth Series, 1677 - 1700, ed by Cowper, J.M., 1898, p. 567)
Susan would have been a widow by this time so able to remarry, and I haven't found another Susan who could have married George Taylor at this time.
