Father Samuel / William GOTHAM, [Did he exist?], b. Est 1832, d. Between 1870 and 1881 (Age ~ 38 years) Mother Ann GOTHAM, b. Abt 1834, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England

(Age ~ 80 years) Married - It seems Ann was probably not married, and her blacksmith husband Samuel a fiction.
When her daughter Maud's birth was registered, though, she gave the maiden name of Boulton. Perhaps this was the surname of Maud's father.
Whether Ann's children had the same father or (as seems more likely) different father's I do not know.

Venue from UKBMD websiteStrangely the 1911 census shows them as having had 4 children, all of whom were still living, but it appears clear that Samuel who died aged 1 months was theirs. The other 4 were with them in 1911.
