Set As Default Person

Name Margaret GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 26 Apr 1848 Clitheroe, Lancashire, England 
- From the 1861 census where shown as aged 13. Also shown as aged 19 at the time of marriage.
GRO ref: Loynd, Margaret q2 1848 Clitheroe RD 21 445; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Goffam.
Gender Female Maiden Name - With her mother and siblings at the time of the census it appears to have been recorded as Goohan. Aged 13 in 1861 she was living with a family as a nurse at the time of the census, with her name recorded as Gotham. In 1866 she married as Margaret Gawthorn. That, of course, was the last time she is recorded with her maiden name, but it was recorded when the birth of each of her children was born: on all 5 occasions as Gothan.
With the name only recorded as Gotham when she was present with another family this might seem the least dependable, and yet a grandson and great-grandson were given the name Gotham as a second Christian name!
Also known as Margaret LOYND Residence 1901 201, Market Street, Whitworth, Lancashire, England - WIth her grandson Arthur Gregory, son of her daughter Emma. The census shows they had just one room.
Occupation 1901 Weaver in cotton mill Residence 1911 16, Springside, Shawforth, Lancashire, England - WIth two of her grandsons, Arthur and Frank, both sons of her daughter Emma. The oldest, Arthur, was out at work which may have been what enabled Margaret to no longer work, and they had 3 rooms compared with just one in 1901.
The younger grandson, Frank, was just 5 and at school.
Died Dec Q 1913 Rochdale Reg Dist, Lancashire, England - There are a number of possible deaths, the most likely would appear to be:
GRO ref: LORD, Margaret q4 1913 aged 66 Rochdale RD 8e 88
(Margaret was in the 1911 census so died after that and was then living in Rochdale RD so quite likely died in it)
