  • Notes 
    • Stephen Goom's first wife died in 1790, leaving him with five small children. It's probable that Sarah Wilkins, 18 at the time, went to work for him as a governess. Sarah may have been the daughter of Thomas Wilkins and Elizabeth Lebeck, who lived near Stephen in the parish of St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey. Seven years after the death of Stephen's first wife, Sarah became pregnant for the first of three children she and Stephen would have together before getting married. All three were baptized in the nearby parish of St George the Martyr, rather than the church in the parish where they lived. Stephen claimed they were married at all three baptisms, but acknowledged they were illegitimate in his will in 1809, and referred to the two surviving children by the name Wilkins Goom. Stephen finally married Sarah in 1803, this time traveling to St Mary Whitechapel to do it. It's possible that health issues finally moved him to marriage. They had one more child in 1806 before Stephen died in 1809. - Ronda L. Oberlin, ancestry.com
