Remembered twice in the 'In Memoriam' column of the Staffordshire Sentinel of 1 July 1935 (p.3, col. 6):
"Gotham. - In loving memory of Dora Gotham, of 42, Werrington-rd., Bucknall, died June 30th, 1934, beloved wife of W. H. Gotham.
No longer must the mourners weep
From her loving Father."
and
"Gotham. - In loving memory of my death mother, Dora Gotham, the beloved wife of William Gotham, of 42, Werrington-road., Bucknall, who passed away June 30th, 1934.
In a graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently fade,
Lies my mother, I loved so dear,
Though I tried but could not save;
Not just to-day, but every day,
In silence I remember.
She did her best for those she loved,
And those she loved remember:
Sleep on, dear mam, so kind and true,
No one on earth I find like you.
In memory you are with me yet.
The voice I loved I cannot forget:
A silent thought, a hidden tear,
Keeps her memory ever dear.
Always remembered by her sorrowing daughter Topsy."

Father Henry LANGLEY, b. Abt 1860, Hanley, Staffordshire, England , d. Sep Q 1937, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England (Age ~ 77 years) Mother Mary Jane HILL, b. Abt 1861, Ipstones, Staffordshire, England , d. Mar Q 1929, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England (Age ~ 68 years) Married 31 Jan 1881 St. Matthew’s Church, Etruria, Staffordshire, England - GRO ref: LANGLEY, Henry to HILL, Mary Jane q1 1881 Stoke T. RD 6b 210
From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 15 Mar 2017)
The 1911 census shows that Henry and Mary Jane had had 5 children, of whom 3 were still living. Checking for the birth registrations of Langleys with a mother's maiden name of Hill at the appropriate time finds just the 5 births, with 2 dying in infancy.

Family William Henry GOTHAM, b. 5 Mar 1885, Hanley, Staffordshire, England , d. 19 Sep 1981, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England (Age 96 years) Married Sep Q 1911 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Bucknall, Staffordshire, England - This marriage was probably of this William Henry. The only other one which looks likely is a William Henry whose birth was registered in Stone RD in 1883, but as a William Henry also married in Stone RD in 1907 that marriage was probably that William Henry (especially as this one was with his parents, single, in the 1911 census). That William Henry had a wife Mary Jane still living at the time of the 1911 census and no sign of her dying later that year, so it is extremely unlikely the 1911 marriage was that Wm Henry remarrying.
Hence this other marriage was most probably this William Henry.
