Name Margaret GOTTAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1658 (possibly), Stoke upon Tern, Shropshire, England 
- Shown as aged about 29 in her marriage licence, which also shows that although then of Drayton in Hales, she was formerly of Stoke upon Tern.
Gender Female Died - A Margaret LAWTON of Darlaston in Staffordshire left a will, 'date recorded' 3 June 1748.
Whilst it could be this Margaret I think it probably wasn't; Darlaston is over 40 miles from Stoke upon Tern, and Margaret was a popular Christian name.

Father GOTTAM, b. Est 1628, d. Yes, date unknown Married - ** n.b. I am only guessing that the 2 children of this 'Gottam' were siblings. Since Parish register entries for most Shropshire parishes are on the FamilySearch website, and there are few Gottams (including spelling variations), it is clear this was not a common surname, and given the 2 children all married in a 12 year period 1687-1699 and both in the rural parish of Stoke upon Tern, it seems probably they were closely related. FamilySearch shows another marriage around this time (1698) in Market Drayton, less than 6 miles away, of a Catherine Gottam. However, the PR shows her surname as Cottam. I will endeavour to see the BTs (cited by FamiySearch) for myself but for the moment have removed Catherine from this website as I suspect she was not a Gottam.
