Name Thomas William GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 1 May 1867 Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England 
- From the 1881 census where shown as aged 13 and the 1901 census where shown as aged 33.
Although shown as William T. in the 1881 census I am sure that this must be the person recorded elsewhere as Thomas William.

Gender Male Education 1881 Scholar Residence 1891 26, Liverpool Road, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England - With his wife and infant son Percy.
Occupation From 1891 to 1911 Steam Engine Maker Fitter - Described as Steam Engine Maker Fitter in 1891, Steam Engine Maker in 1901 and locomotive fitter in 1911; they all sounds like the same job to me
Residence From 1901 to 1911 92, King Street, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England - No house no. given in the 1901 census, likely to be the same as in 1911
Residence From 1939 to 1949 27, Albert Street, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, England - In the 1939 register with his wife, daughter Jessie and her husband, and one closed entry - I guess the child of Jessie and John.
Still his address at the time of his death (from probate calendar entry).
