  Father	Thomas GOTHAM,   b. Jun Q 1855, Fenton, Staffordshire, England ,   d. Sep Q 1912, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age ~ 57 years)
  Mother	Ann KELLEY,   b. 19 Jan 1860, Willenhall, Staffordshire, England ,   d. Dec Q 1925, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age 64 years)
  Married	14 Nov 1878	St. Peter Ad Vincula Church, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England
  	The 1911 census showed that Thomas and Ann had been married for 32 years GRO ref: GOTHAM, Thomas to Kelley, Ann q4 1878 Stoke T. RD 6b 320 Venue from UKBMD website, date from PR entry (image on FMP) The 1911 also census shows that Thomas and Ann had had 7 children but only 4 were still living (and only two were with them on census night). Only 4 were found with them on any censuses, 1881 to 1911, so the others must have died as quite young children. These can be identified from baptism and burial records; the abode of George Street, which is shown as Thomas and Ann's home at the time of the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses shows that they were children of this Thomas. Also with Thomas and Ann at the time of the 1911 census were orphaned nephew William (son of Thomas's brother Matthew), a grandson Walter (aged 2) and a border, 48 year old widower Thomas Rowcroft.
