  Father	Joseph GOTTAM,   b. Abt 1821,   d. Dec Q 1889, Wellington Shropshire Reg Dist, Shropshire, England  (Age ~ 68 years)
  Mother	Charlotte RIDGEWAY,   b. Abt 1820, Cold Hatton, Shropshire, England ,   d. Dec Q 1889, Wellington Shropshire Reg Dist, Shropshire, England  (Age ~ 69 years)
  Married	Mar Q 1849	Record Office or Non-Conformist, Shrewsbury Reg Dist, Shropshire, England
  	Where and when were Joseph and Charlotte married? The marriage should be in the index on FreeBMD but there is no Gotham / Gottam marriage to fit, there or on UKBMD. It must be this one where Joseph is recorded as a Cottom: GRO ref: Cottom, Joseph to Ridgeway, Charlotte q1 1849 Shrewsbury RD 18 237 UKBMD: COTTOM, Joseph to RIDGEWAY, Charlotte 1849 Church / Reg Office: Shrewsbury Register Office or Registrar Attended; Registers at: Shrewsbury; Ref: RO-S/2/130 In the 1851 census there are 3 children with Joseph and Charlotte, not only Mary, born to the marriage, but Rachel, aged 6 and William, aged 9, both shown as born in High Ercall. If accurte, this implies that Joseph had been married before and had these 2 children. However, I cannot find birth registrations (or baptisms) to fit this. Could it be that they were children of Charlotte who had been 'adopted' by Joseph (or born to the couple before they married)? In this case they should appear with the surname Ridgeway; so far I have not found them with this name either. More investigation needed.
