  	GRO ref: Cottom, Edward to Hodgkiss, Jane q3 1879 Wellington Sal RD 6a 1233     Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 14 Dec 2016) (Archive reference P230/A/3/3, p. 47) Edward made his mark, as did witness Elizabeth Cottom, probably his sister. Their apparent illiteracy (bride Jane signed) will doubtless have aided the transition from Gottam to Cottom, if it was not deliberate. The 1911 census shows Edward and Jane had 7 children, 3 of whom had by then died.
