 Set As Default Person

• Name	George Gotham MOUNTFORD
  Suffix [ONS gp]	[G-D(LS)]
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	14 Jul 1880	Burslem, Staffordshire, England
  	GRO ref: MOUNTFORD, George Gotham q3 1880 Wolstanton RD 6b 148; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Gotham About July 1880 from the 1881 census where shown as aged 8 months Actual date from the 1939 register

  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 21 Aug 2018)
  Gender	Male
  Middle name relationship	His mother's maiden name - his grandfather's name
  	It seems probable he was named after his maternal grandfather, George GOTHAM.
  Residence	1939	70, Burledge Road, Tunstall, Staffordshire, England
  	George had just been widowed by the time of the 1939 register, but is not in his own home but probably a lodger or boarder with the Rushton household (Samuel and Harriet, both born 1910, and at least one, probably two, children). (Ref: RG101/5278A/006/29 Letter Code: ONAZ)
  Occupation	1939
  	Potter's Teapot Jigger
  	From the 1939 register
  Residence	to 1948	32, Morley Street, Tunstall, Kent, England
  	His home at the time of his death
  	Assumed to be his home at where he died
  Died	20 Jun 1948	32, Morley Street, Tunstall, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Mountford, George G q2 1948 aged 69 Stoke RD 9b 419; GRO online index shows middle name as Gotham His death was announced in the Staffordshire Sentinel on 22 June 1948 (p. 2, col. 8) "MOUNTFORD. - On June 20th, at 32, Morley-st., Tunstall, George Graham Mountford, aged 71 years. Service in Christ Church on Wednesday at 11 a.m. Interment at Tunstall Cemetery. Relatives please accept this, the only intimation. Funeral private. - Inquiries, C. McGough and Sons, Tunstall Ph 84300. C22" Clearly there are a couple of discrepancies with information known about this George: this George was aged 67, and his middle name was Gotham.  This George's age was wrong in his death registration too, though 69 there, and  Graham is an understandable mistake with the unususal middle name.        There were only two George Mountfords whose deaths were registered in Staffordshire in the second qtr of 1948, both in Stoke RD. The other was 75 year old George Arthur Mountford, so the newspaper announcement does not seem to fit him at all. There were no other George G Mountfords elsewhere in the country, which could fit if the place of death were wrong. It seems fairly safe to assume the announcement was for this George.
  Funeral	23 Jun 1948	Christ Church, Tunstall, Staffordshire, England
  	From newspaper death announcement.
  Buried	23 Jun 1948	The Cemetery, Tunstall, Staffordshire, England
  	From newspaper announcement of his death.

  Family	Millicent Clarice GRACEBY,   b. Abt 1884, Liverpool, Lancashire, England ,   d. Sep Q 1939, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England  (Age ~ 55 years)
  Married	Mar Q 1904	Holy Trinity Church, Sneyd, Staffordshire, England
  	GRO ref: Mountford, George Gotham to Graceby, Minnie Clarice q1 1904 Wolstanton RD 6b 148 Actual church from Staffordshire BMD website. Married 7 years by the time of the 1911 census with no children, it seems probable that George and Millicent never had any children. Looking from the 2nd half of 1911 at births of  Mountfords registered with Graceby as the mother's maiden name, there was only one - in 1925. I think it unlikely they were a child of this couple, over twenty years after the marriage and with no other children in that time. Also a 14 year old would most likely have been with her father at the time of the 1939 register. There is no other Mounford = Graceby marriage in the indexes, but this could well be due to the bride being a widow when she married, especially common in the years following WW1.
