Mary GOTHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Mary GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 11 Feb 1822 - Date from baptism register
Baptised 3 Mar 1822 Bethesda Chapel, Methodist New Connexion, Albion Street, Shelton, Staffordshire, England
- From Church Register entry (image on FMP, viewed 2 Jan 2015; register at TNA, TNA ref: RG/4/2724)
'Child's Name: Mary Gotham; When Born: Feb 11 1822; When Baptized: Mar 3 1822; No. of Children: 9: Child; Parents' Names: Of William Gotham Painter Shelton in the Parish of Stoke upon Trent by Sarah Daughter of Benjin. Lee Potter of the same place; By whom Baptized: William Haslam'
Gender Female Occupation 1841 Pottery Transferrer Died Aft 1881 - Found in the 1871 and 1881 censuses (clearly this Mary in 1871 due to several children at home matching those of this Mary; only youngest son John with her in 1881 which could make it harder to be sure except that they are at the saem address as in 1871). Not yet found later censuses.
A 60 year old Mary Unwin, abode Caverswall, was buried at Norton Le Moors (St Bartholomew's Church) on 31 Jan 1882 but the 1881 census shows a Mary Unwin of this age living in Caverswall as the wife of a Richard Unwin. It seems fairly safe to assume the two were the same, and so this burial can be dismissed as being of this Mary.

Baptisms of Mary to Herbert indicate these were the 9 to 13th children of William and Sarah.
Of the earlier 8 I have found evidence of 7.
