Katherine GOATHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Katherine GOATHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born - In his will (written in 1681) Edward refers to her inheriting at a certain age (I haven't quite made out - but most likely it refers to 21 though other ages are far from unknown) so I guessed she must have been less than the age referred to in 1681. She was also younger than her sister, who it appears had also not reached this age in 1681. This Catherine would have been 17 in 1681, so that ties in.
Baptised 2 May 1665 St. Martin’s Church, Herne, Kent, England
- Date in May unclear in PR (m/f viewed at CCA, 2011), but 2nd in BT
Also appears as 2 in image of PR now on FMP
"Katherine the Daughter of Edw: Gotham by Sarah his wife bapt: Maye 2"
Gender Female Buried 1 Sep 1728 St. Peter’s Church, Sandwich, Kent, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Sep 2020)
"Widow Spichelye poor - Spt 1"
No burial for a Katherine Spicely found, but it seems probable this was her. An older Pistell etc. couple were having children around the same time as her parents-in-law, but there seem to be no families around the same time as Daniel and Katherine. Her son William had married in 1720 but was still alive.

Sarah OKENFOLD, bur. 6 Feb 1675/76, St. Martin’s Church, Herne, Kent, England
(Mother) 
Notes - (Research):I did have 2 possible husbands for this Catherine, now I know there was another baptised in Herne in 1676 I guess that the Catherine who married in Herne in 1703/4 was this younger one.

- From PR entry (image on FMP)
"Edward Gotham and Sarah Richardsonne weare married the 22th of Septembar" - under heading '1659'.
It seems probable that the Sarah Richardson who married Edward was a widow since Michael Richardson of Herne died in 1658, three years after he married Edward.

Family Daniel PICHLEY, b. Abt 1666, bur. 30 Aug 1713, St. Peter’s Church, Sandwich, Kent, England
(Age ~ 47 years) Marriage License 14 Jun 1690 Canterbury, Kent, England
- "Pichley, Daniel, of Sandwich, cooper, ba., 24. and Cath. Goatham of S. M. Northgate, spr., 23. At S. Alphage, Cant. John Upton of Cant., cordwainer, bonds. June 14, 1690."
(from "Canterbury Marriage Licences, Fourth Series, 1677 - 1700, ed by Cowper, J.M., 1898, p. 456)
Married 15 Jun 1690 St. Alphege’s Church, Canterbury, Kent, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 29 Nov 2016)
"June: 15. Daniel Pilchly of Catherine Goatham, by a Licence"
The 5 children appear to be children of one couple given the spacing and the first being baptised about 15 months after Daniel and Catherine married - except for one thing. For the first 3 the mother's name is given as Mary. However, there is no marriage of Daniel to a Mary that I can find, and it would be a coincidence if there were another couple that Daniel and Mary had no children before 1691, none after 1694 and only after that do Daniel and Katherine start having children. It seems more likely that Katherine was being mis-recorded as Mary.
