      Details from image of GRO register entry
      The informant, Maria Broadbridge, was a paternal aunt, who was present at the death. Annie Maria had 3 siblings, all younger and aged 3, 2 and about 4 months when she died, so her mother must have had her hands full. No wonder Aunt Maria was helping. Maria was only a year older that Annie's father, but had started a family much earlier - nearly twenty years before. Not only was her youngest surviving aged 9, but she had several older daughters so there was probably plenty of help available in her own home.  

      Her death was reported in The South Eastern Gazette on 25th June:
      "On the 20th inst., Anna Maria, the beloved and only daughter of Mr. Henry Goatham, of the Jolly Sailors Inn, Flushing-street, Milton, aged 4½ years."

      Although the marriage certificate shows both Henry and Harriet as resident in Chatham, Harriet had lived with her family in Flushing Street in Milton, where her mother and siblings were still living in 1861, although by then Harriet had moved to live where she was working, in Chatham. Less than 3 weeks before the wedding Henry was living with a sister and her family in Milton. Perhaps he described himself as living in Chatham to save the need to arrange for banns to be read in Milton.
      While Harriet's residence in the parish would have enabled them legally to marry in Chatham, many marriages seemed to take place there where neither of the couple was resident. The large size of the parish and the number of transitory residents due to the dockyard probably made it effectively impossible to check that at least one of a couple was resident (as required by the 1753 Hardwicke Act)

      Not clear that Annie died in the Jolly Sailors but she probably died at home
