(one of only two events for the surname Gottian on FreeBMD, anywhere, any date - the other is transcribed as Gothan on the new GRO online index; that and the evidence below means that I am confident that the above is the marriage of this couple. It probably says Gothan and an 'h' was mistead as 'ti' by the transcriber.)
According to the 1911 census John and Mary had been married for 21 years

(Archive reference: D4904/1/25, p. 31)
The 1901 John and Mary had 'THOMAS' brothers-in-law living with them; single, they were clearly Thomas's wife's brothers not his sisters' husbands - hence Mary Jane confirmed as a THOMAS.
The 1911 census shows John and Mary had had 3 children, one of whom had died.
