    Father Matthew GOTHAM, [Parents?],   b. Abt 1670,   d. 20 Nov 1758  (Age ~ 88 years)
    Other Partners: Thomasin  
    Mother Penelope,   b. Est 1672,   bur. 19 Sep 1703, St. Mary’s Church, Morchard Bishop, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location  (Age ~ 31 years) 
    Married Est 1696 
    • Both Matthew and his wife may have moved to Morchard Bishop from another parish, but if Matthew married a Morchard Bishop woman, then it may have been Penelope Webber, baptised there 27 May 1673.

      They probably married about 1696, the year before the baptism of their first known son, though if they were from another parish could have had one or more other children (no sign of marriages or burials of any likely other children in Morchard Bishop, though).
      If they were both living in Morchard at the time of their marriage the lack of an entry for it in the PR may suggest they married by licence in Exeter. Browsing licences on FS for 1696-7 I have not found one (but not all survive / are legible).
