Eliza SIMCOCK
Set As Default Person -
Name Eliza SIMCOCK Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1833 Shelton, Staffordshire, England
- Shown as born Shelton in the 1871 and 1881 censuses, Hanley in 1861. Age a little variable - 25 in 1861, 34 in '71, 47 in '81, i.e. born 1833-1836.
In the 1851 census shown as aged 17, but the Eliza with her parents in 1841 shown as aged 20, implying between 1816-1821. I think her age has been switched with that of her sister, who was shown after her husband but as aged 8.

Actual date and place from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Nov 2014)
Also from notices in newspapesr:
'On Monday, August 13, at Fenton Church, by the Rev. W. Sollis incumbent, Mr. Mathew Gotham, compositor, of Liverpool, to Miss Eliza Simcock, of Fenton.'
(in the Staffordshire Sentine 18 Aug 1860, p.5 col. 6)
Very similar in The Albion (pub. Liverpool, Mon 20 Aug 1860)
It is interesting that Matthew married a Simcock; John, who I believe was his older 1st cousin, had married a Simcock in 1838. These 2 Simcocks, Eliza and Elizabeth, appear to have been sisters. Especially given how far Matthew lived from his cousin and where Eliza was from, about 50 miles away, it is impossible to believe this was due to chance and points to the two brothers and their families, i.e. that of William in the Stoke-on-Trent area and Thomas in Liverpool, kept in touch.
