1909 - 1988  (78 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Christopher Goatham WOOD
  Suffix [ONS gp]	[G-K]
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	4 Apr 1909	33, Shortlands Road, Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Wood, Christopher Goatham q2 1909 Milton RD 2a 1028; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name, implying illegitimate Actual date from 1939 register and death registration index, place from the 1911 census. Date and place also from his birth registration (GRO register entry) Christopher is shown on his birth registration as the son of Frances Jane, not the son of Edith, Frances Jane's sister, who was in the same household as Christopher in 1911
  Gender	Male
  Census	1911	33, Shortlands Road, Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  In the household of his step-grandfather, Henry William DUTNALL. . His mother was not present, but two of her siblings were - her sister  Edith Emily, a single woman aged 33, who was described as 'housekeeper' and was presumably the main carer for one year old Christopher, and her brother John Percy.
  Census	1921	Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  With his mother, now married and so with his step-father and half-brother. Also present was his aunt, Edith, who had probably been caring for him as a young child.
  Census	29 Sep 1939	46, High Street, Newington next Sittingbourne, Kent, England
  From the 1939 register Index shows Christopher G Wood with Mildred W and 2 others, both closed (as at 5 Aug 2019).
  Middle name relationship	Probably the surname of his biological father
  	Christopher was born out of wedlock, but his middle name suggests his father was a Goatham. There was no Christopher GOATHAM, so his Christian name is no help in identifying the culprit. Since most Goathams in the second half of the nineteenth century were born in or near Sittingbourne his birthplace is no help.
  Died	Feb 1988	Chatham Reg Dist, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Wood, Christopher Goatham reg Feb 1988, dob 4 Apr 1909 Chatham RD 16 755
  Buried	Sittingbourne Cemetery, Capel Road Extension, Sittingbourne, Kent, England
