Andrew GOTHAM, b. Est 1585, (probably), Abbotskerswell, Devon, England, bur. 10 Mar 1673/74, St. Mary the Virgin Church, Wolborough, Devon, England (Age ~ 89 years) (Great Grandfather) 
Sybilla WITHICOMBE, b. Est 1670, bur. 19 Apr 1735 or 19 May 1739, St. Bartholomew’s Church, East Ogwell, Devon, England (Age ~ 69 years) (Mother) Notes - (Research):The list of West Teignmouth contributors to a 1678 brief for the rebuilding of St Paul's Cathedral (online transcription) does not include any Gothams, from which it seems likely there was none living in the parish at that time. In addition, the probate court for both East and West Teignmouth was not that of the Archdeaconry of Totnes, for which not only most wills have been lost to us but no list survives, but those of peculiars for which a list does survive, and contains no Gothams in Teignmouth until 1771.

It seems probable that the two brothers Thomas and John, sons of Humphrey and Sybilla, who disappear from the East Ogwell registers were the same Thomas and John who appear in the Teignmouth (mainly West Teignmouth) registers. When there were too many in the rural parishes for the work available in them, a natural move in Devon, especially for those near the coast, was to move there.
