Hannah GOTTAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Hannah GOTTAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1816 Wistanswick, Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England
- From the censuses, which suggest born between 1815 - 1817. 1851 and 1861 show her birthplace as Wistanswick, 1871 as Market Drayton (the nearest town) and 1881 as West Bromwich - a misreading of Wistanswick by the ennumerator?
Baptised 12 Aug 1816 St. Peter’s Church, Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England
- The PRs for this date appear not to survive (not included in the collection on FMP, though both earlier and later reigsters are).
From the BTs (transcribed data on FamilySearch, viewed 2 Nov 2017)
Shows Hannah Gothum, daughter of John and Mary.
Gender Female Alt. Baptism 5 Oct 1828 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Childs Ercall, Shropshire, England

Although no age or date of birth is given, as is the norm when the candidate was not an infant, I think the baptism must be of this Hannah; she is shown as the daughter of John and Mary and I have not found another couple with these names / in this area at the time. But why - Hannah had been baptised as a baby? Was there some uncertainty about this, or the validity of the baptism?
