Family Stanley John GOTHAM, b. Sep Q 1888, Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England , d. 6 Apr 1977, Repatriation General Hospital, Concord, New South Wales, Australia (Age ~ 89 years) Married Dec Q 1910 Belfast Reg Dist, Ireland - As well as there being / having been very few Goathams in Australia, and Mary Elizabeth was like Stanley, of Concord and a similar age, when Stanley's son's death was registered his mother's name was given as Mary Elizabeth.
Because only know of births up to 100 years ago (looked to end of 1914), Stanley and Mary may have had several more children after this date.
A probable close relation was Phyllis Johanna GOTHAM, born about 1921. I guess she was probably a daughter of daughter in law.
A death notice for her appeared in the Daily Telegraph (Sydney) of 8 Oct 2009; it shows she was to be cremated on 12 Oct 2009, having died aged 88 at Ashbury Nursing Home.
