• Name	William GOTHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Baptised	8 Dec 1594	St. Bartholomew’s Church, Crewkerne, Somerset, England
  	From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 15 May 2026) "Bap Willia[m] the sonne of Davy Gotam was baptised the eyght Daye of the same" - under heading 'December 1594'

  Buried	10 Apr 1618	St. Bartholomew’s Church, Crewkerne, Somerset, England
  	From FreeReg Also on Somerset burial index (on FMP, viewed 29 July 2017) but this shows the date as 13 Apr Both show his name as William Gottam I do not have proof that the burial was of this William; given the scarcity of the name it seems probable, especially as I have found no children of his marriage and a Mary Gotham married, like William, a few months later - presumably his widow.

  Family	Marie GRIGGE,   b. Est 1592,   d. Yes, date unknown  Other Partners: John CLARK  m. 12 Jul 1618
  Married	19 Jan 1618	St. John the Baptist Church, Broadwindsor, Dorset, England
  	From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 4 Mar 2015) "[Jan:] 19. Will[ia]m Gotam and Marie Grigge" Gotham is a rare surname in Dorset and Somerset. With Broadwindsor only 6 miles from Crewkerne it seems reasonable to think the one who married there was the one baptised in Crewkerne, especially given that the latter would have been aged about 23 at the time of marriage, i.e. a likely age. However, I have not yet looked at the survival of Parishes / BTs in the neighbourhood to know if there might have been other Gothams in neighbouring parishes which do not now survive, nor of the coverage of Somerset / Dorset by the resources I have seen (I think Dorset is well covered by Ancestry but the odd parish may have withheld permission; Somerset may be less well covered).
