Siblings3 brothers and 5 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch 
Notes - (Research):A Mary Gotham was buried in Wrockwardine on 20 July 1820, aged 24. There was also a 2 yr old William buried there on 5 Oct 1822, so I guess Mary died in or as a result of child birth.
But was it this Mary, or a Mary who had married a Gotham? Not this one if I am right that she married Ralph Rogers. Birthplace as shown in censuses does suggest it was this Mary who married Roger, so I think the Wrockwardine Mary was a different one.

Family Ralph RODGERS, b. Abt 1796, d. Jun Q 1850, Market Drayton Reg Dist, Shropshire Cheshire or Staffordshire, England (Age ~ 54 years) Married 26 May 1817 St. Peter’s Church, Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 6 Nov 2014)
"Ralph Rodgers of the Parish of Whitchurch and Mary Gotham of this Parish were married in this Churhc by Banns this twenty sixth Day of May in the Year One thousand eight hundred and seventeen
By me O Leycester
This Marriage was solemnized between us Ralph Rodgers his | Mark, Mary Gotham her X Mark
In the Presence of Henry Wild, Jas Shefton [both signed]"
(Birthplace of Mary's younger sister Hannah suggests the family were living in Stoke upon Tern at this time)
Henry Wild may have been Mary's uncle with this name. Witnesses were usually young family members, e.g. siblings rather than parents, but Henry was one of
her mother's younger brothers, aged about 28 at the time of the marriage. (He could though have been a cousin; some of her mother's 12 brothers could have had sons old enough. I have not researched (and have no plans to research) their families.)
