Eliza GOTHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Eliza GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Mar Q 1849 Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England

GRO ref: Gotham, Eliza q1 1849 Stoke on T. RD 17 162; GRO online indes shows mother's maiden name as Simcock
There was another Eliza whose birth was registered in the second quarter of 1849, but from the date of baptism of this Eliza I think she was most likely the one whose birth was registered in the first quarter.

Father John GOTHAM, b. Abt 1818, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England
, d. Mar Q 1858, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England
(Age ~ 40 years) Mother Elizabeth SIMCOCK, b. Abt 1819, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England
, d. Jun Q 1882, Stoke on Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England
(Age ~ 63 years) Married 1838 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Bucknall, Staffordshire, England
- This marriage seems to be missing from the GRO index (not found by searching for John as Gotham or Gothan, nor by searching for Elizabeth Simcock) but it is in the index to the local registers on the Staffordshire BMD website.
This shows (in the index for 1838):
GOTHAN [sic], John married SIMCOCK, Elizabeth at Bucknall, St Mary's Church, registers at Stoke-On-Trent, ref. 2/01/055
Other trees claim 12 Nov 1839 or 12 Nov 1838 in Bucknall Parish Church, Stoke-on-Trent. Looking at images of the PR on FMP I can't find this marriage, but the register is strange - the old style register was being used still, and whilst there were many registers in 1837, hardly any in 1838 or 1839, so it looks like another register may also have been in use.

Family Charles BRANDON, b. Sep Q 1852, Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, England
, d. Mar Q 1928, Huddersfield Reg Dist, Yorkshire, England
(Age ~ 76 years) Married 2 Sep 1873 Hanging-Heaton, Yorkshire, England
- GRO ref: Bandrum, Charles to Gotham, Eliza q3 1873 Dewsbury RD 9b 931
(It would appear the certificate is unclear, since as well as the error in Charles surname, the bride's name is indexed both as Eliza and as Ellen)
Date and place from FamilySearch
The 1911 census shows that Charles and Eliza had had 8 children, but only 4 were still living.
