GRO ref: Thomas, Mary Jane q4 1869 Wolstanton RD 6b 138; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as King
(the birth of another Mary Jane THOMAS was registered in Wolstanton RD in q2 1868 but the census suggests parents were George and Jane, BMD index PR entry confirms a George Thomas married Jane Wilson; since the marriage of Mary Jane Thomas to Gotham shows her father's name was William this 1868 birth can be ruled out)
Gender Female Died 22 Feb 1923 Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England - GRO ref: Gotham, Mary J aged 53 q1 1923 Stoke T. RD 6b 75; GRO online index shows Christian names as Mary Jane

(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.
