Matthew GOTHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Matthew GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 24 Sep 1744 Baptised 9 Oct 1744 St. Bridget’s Church, Bridestowe, Devon, England
Gender Male Occupation From 1773 to 1774 Okehampton, Devon, England
Saddler - In lists of licences issued at Quarter Sessions in Okehampton Borough Mathew Gotham provided surety for victualler Thomas Ball (in 1773) and Joseph Hollaway (in 1774). On both occasions he was described as saddler.
(From catalogue entries to DHC deposits (1773 list and 1774 list); on both occasions transcribed as Mat(t)hew GOLHAM, but as there was no such surname and this Matthew lived in Okehampton I think it is safe to assume it was him. Seeing the original documents is on my 'to do' list)
