 Set As Default Person

• Name	Alexander GOTHAM
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Baptised	11 Mar 1631/32	St. Andrew’s Church, Stokeinteignhead, Devon, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 17 Nov 2014) "Alexander filius of Barnabas Gotum baptized the xith day of March" - under heading 'Baptisms. 1631.'
  Gender	Male
  Name	When Alexander's father, Barnabas, was just about 2 his father died, and when he was 4 his mother remarried - to one Alexander Colcott. In naming a son 'Alexander' Barnabas would appear to be paying tribute to his step-father, who may well have been Alexander's Godfather. (However, I have not researched the Colcott family and it is possible that Barnabas had a step-brother or half-brother Alexander, and that his son is named after him).
  Buried	15 Apr 1632	St. Andrew’s Church, Stokeinteignhead, Devon, England
