Report: Go(a)thams with multiple Christian names / forenames - all

         Description: This report shows how late it was before GO(A)THAMs began to be given two (or more) Christian names (forenames), the first not being recorded until 1728, although Go(a)thams have been recorded and are on the tree this report is based on back to the C13th.

The 'middle name relationship' column in the table below indicates the relationship of someone with a forename from a surname to their closest relation with the surname. It can be seen that most of the C18th middle names were family surnames, and most all were amongst GOTHAMs with Devonshire GOTHAM ancestry (those born / baptised in Deptford, then in Kent, had Devonshire parents).

I plan to add a column to make group / origins of the individuals clearer but some changes are needed in what software I use before I can easily do this.

Caveats:

1. Because people are identified by having 2 or more forenames by a blank space in their forenames there may be a few false positives (e.g. where a pet name is included - in brackets) but common sense should make it easy to ignore these.

2. This report extracts data from the trees; work is ongoing on US Gothams (most of whom may well descend from Kentish GOATHAMs) but at present they are not on the tree so are not included in this report.

3. Before the spelling of names settled down a person might be recorded with different spellings of their surname in different records - even with more than one spelling in a single record. On the tree on this website the spelling of the surname used for English Go(a)thams of Kentish Go(a)than ancestry is GOATHAM (the spelling in individual records is or will be recorded in the details of the relevant event); GOTHAM is used for most others, although some with Shropshire / Staffordshire origins are recorded with the variant GOTTAM.

4. At present this report covers those for whom I consider GO(A)THAM or GOTTAM as their main surname (or main pre-marriage surname for women who married); I may amend it to take account of others who at sometime had the surname (other than by marriage). It might also be interesting to compare the figures with those who were GOATHAMs / GOTHAMs / GOTTAMs by marriage and who consequently came from a wider range of families / backgrounds / geographical locations.

5. With the results table split over several pages, the same comments and caveats will appear on each page - don't waste your time looking for anything new!
