Baptised - Lay baptism, presumably private in an emergency, noted in baptism register when received into the church (but no date or place given)
Gender Female Received into the Church 2 Apr 1886 St. Jude’s Church, Hanley, Staffordshire, England Residence 1901 Braodway Street, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England Child Status Illegitimate (no sign of parental relationship) Died Jun Q 1939 Burton upon Trent Reg Dist, Staffordshire or Derbyshire, England - ** with such a common surname as Robinson I am far from sure I have the right death **
Not found in the 1939 registration (searching for a Maud Robinson born on 31 July 1871); could be that dob is wrong or she had remarried but I think the following is probably the death of this Maud (although the age is one year out)

Father Samuel / William GOTHAM, [Did he exist?], b. Est 1832, d. Between 1870 and 1881 (Age ~ 38 years) Mother Ann GOTHAM, b. Abt 1834, Market Drayton, Shropshire, England , d. 11 Mar 1914, Hospital, The Union Workhouse, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England (Age ~ 80 years) Married - It seems Ann was probably not married, and her blacksmith husband Samuel a fiction.
When her daughter Maud's birth was registered, though, she gave the maiden name of Boulton. Perhaps this was the surname of Maud's father.
Whether Ann's children had the same father or (as seems more likely) different father's I do not know.

From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 2 Oct 2017)
Although as a widow Maud should not have filled in the section in the 1911 census about her marriage, she did, and recorded she had had seven children, one of whom had died. Five were with her, but not Frank or Elsie May, so it must have been one of those who had died. The BMD index shows it was Frank. Looking for Elsie, I find she was with an aunt and uncle.
