with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 25 Jun 1820 St. Michael the Archangel’s Church, East Teignmouth, Devon, England 
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 3 Dec 2014)
Gender Male Residence 1851 The Strand, East Teignmouth, Devon, England - With his wife and children Richard William, George, John and Susanna
Occupation From 1851 to 1861 Mariner Residence 1861 The Strand, East Teignmouth, Devon, England - With his wife and children George, Elizabeth and John
Residence From 1871 to 1881 West Den House, Northumberland Place, East Teignmouth, Devon, England - In 1871 with his wife, children Elizabeth and John, and a general servant Martha Northway. The servant may have been needed not because the family needed one but because his wife was running a lodging house.
Another family in the same house at the time of the census were Indian born widow Emily Stiles and her two sons, William and Trevor, although it is not clear if these were lodgers in rooms managed by Ann Heath, or in rooms held separately.
In the 1881 census the family were shown as living at 22, Northumberland Place - it is not certain that this was the same house, though it seems likely. It appears Ann was no longer a lodging house, but the family had increased. With Richard were not only his wife and daughter Elizabeth, but also son John (a joiner) and his wife and two children.

"William Heath and Mary Gotham"
No parish shown in the banns register for either of the couple; was the priest just slack about recording the information (the name of the person who published the banns is also missing), or does this imply both were otp?
Married 27 Oct 1806 St. Thomas’s Church, Exeter, Devon, England - Although there were banns of marriage for William and Mary in West Teignmouth in 1806, their marriage took place in Exeter a few months later, with both of them shown as of the parish of St. Thomas the Apostle.

Perhaps there was an impediment, hence marrying in a city parish, where they were not known.
An impediment could also explain why a daughter of Mary's (Sarah), shown in the register as born more than 7 months after the marriage, was recorded as a Gotham and illegitimate.
I show Mary's other daughter who was baptised as a Gotham as having a different father, but she could have been a daughter of William Heath.
