Douglas GOTHAM

1906 - 1972  (65 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Douglas GOTHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	4 Dec 1906	Hanley, Staffordshire, England
  	From 1911 census where shown as aged 4 GRO ref: GOTHAM, Douglas q1 1907 Stoke T RD 6b 167; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Stanway DOB given in death registration index, but year must be wrong - I assume a year out (common error, when people fail to take effect of someone not having had their birthday in the year of their death). And this is confirmed by the date in the 1939 register.

  	Registration
  	Douglas was living alone at the time the 1939 register was compiled, while his wife and baby were with his wife's sister on the west side of London, possibly due to wartime fears or practicalities. (Ref: RG101/1007H/008/13 Letter Code: CANS)

  Father	Harry Aston GOTHAM,   b. 22 Sep 1881, Fenton, Staffordshire, England ,   d. Jun Q 1969, Barnet Reg Dist, Greater London Hertfordshire or Middlesex, England  (Age 87 years) Other Partners: Beatrice Maud STANWAY  m. Sep Q 1915
  Mother	Florence Helena STANWAY,   b. Dec Q 1883, Congleton Reg Dist, Cheshire, England ,   d. Sep Q 1914, Woolwich Reg Dist, Kent or London, England  (Age ~ 31 years)
  Married	Dec Q 1902	Register Office, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England
  	GRO ref: GOTHAM, Harry Aston to Stanway, Florence Helena q4 1902 Stoke T. RD 6b 456 Venue from UKBMD website (viewed 9 Apr 2015) The 1911 census shows that Harry and Florence had had 6 children of whom 4 were still living. Five Gotham babies had been born and died in the Midlands (all Stoke on Trent Reg Dist) between Harry and Florence marrying and the 1911 census, 2 of which were presumably theirs. I think these must have been one of Vera Helen (birth reg q4 1902) and Florence Cissy (birth reg q1 1903) and one of Ernest Aston (birth reg q2 1908) and Edgar William (birth reg q3 1908) The 1911 census shows that Harry's brother Alfred had also lost a child by 1911; as he only married in 1907 I think one of the two born in 1908 was his. The fifth child to be born and die within this period was James Edward William, but his burial is on FreeReg and shows he was the son of a William Henry.
