Name John GOATHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 20 Nov 1752 Margate, Kent, England 
- date from bapt register
Baptised 19 Dec 1752 St. John the Baptist Church, Margate, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 18 Feb 2017)
Gender Male Witness to will 10 Dec 1789 St. Luke’s Parish, London, Middlesex, England Of John Lindley, Paper Stainer - There is nothing in the will to suggest the two Johns were related, John Lindley leaving everything to a son Robert, if he reached the age of 21, else to his (John's) sisters, all four of whom lived in Yorkshire, so that was probably where John was from.
John Lindley was, though, like John Goatham, a paper stainer. I guess it was their common occupation that led to them being acquainted and to John Goatham being a witness for John Lindley.
(Will proved in the PCC, 22 Mar 1790; TNA ref. PROB 11/1189/233).

Occupation Paper stainer - The indenture for his son becoming an apprentice paper stainer seems to refer to John senior being a paper stainer too.

Susannah WATTS, b. Abt 1697, bur. 14 Mar 1783, St. John the Baptist Church, Margate, Kent, England (Age ~ 86 years) (Grandmother) Notes - (Research):Was it John from Thanet who married Elizabeth Millbank?
Given that the age of the John who was buried in Finsbury matches the age indicated by baptism of this John, together with the tendency of members of this family to move to London and there being no further evidence of John found on Thanet, I believe it was.
It also seems reasonable to suppose that the burial of an Elizabeth Goatham buried a few years earlier in the same parish was his wife, especially as her abode was shown as the same. If the age there was accurate, this would mean she was 44 when they married, John being 35; I did think this could explain why no children have been found for this couple, but have now seen that they seem to have had a son John in 1790. If Elizabeth was then 46 it is unlikely they had many more, though with the baptism not yet found it can't be assumed he was their only child.

Family Elizabeth MILLBANK, b. Abt 1744, bur. 21 Sep 1828, St. Luke’s Church, Finsbury, Middlesex, England (Age ~ 84 years) Married 13 Apr 1788 The Church of St. Lawrence Jewry, London, England - The PR entry shows:
"John Goatham of the parish of Saint Lawrence Jewry London a batchelor and Elizabeth Millbank of the same parish spinster were Married by Banns the 13th day of April one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight by Me - { W. Lucas, Vicar [?]
this Marraige was { John Goatham

All signed, both John and Elizabeth having better handwriting than most who signed at this time. Benjamin Holloway witnessed most marriages in the parish at this time and so was probably the Parish Clerk.
(spellings in above transcription: 'solemlised', 'bettwen' and 'Marraige' - are as in the register)
