  • Name William Woodhouse GOTHAM 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born 17 Aug 1892  11, Adelaide Street, Fenton, Staffordshire, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • GRO ref: Gotham, William q3 i1892 Stoke T. RD 6b 271; GRO online index does not show a mother's maiden name
      Actual date from baptism register and date and place from birth registration entry (GRO copy). This gives the date of registration as the 9 September, i.e. the day after William died. It seems probable that his mother registered both events at the same time.  From his Christian names, recorded as William Woodhouse in the baptism register, I am guessing that William was the son of William Woodhouse BREALEY as well as of Elizabeth GOTHAM.

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 5 Sep 2016) GRO ref: Gotham, Elizabeth to Brealey, William W q3 1892 Stoke T. RD 6b 278
      Local BMD (Staffs index for 1892): GOTHAM, Elizabeth to BREALEY, William W; Church: Fenton, Christ Church; Registers at: Stoke-On-Trent; Ref.: 10/5/128.

      The 1911 census shows they had had 4 children, all of whom were still living (and all with them at the time of the census). It is accurate as their (or at least, Elizabeth's) son who had died was born about 4 weeks before they married, so was not a child of the marriage.
