Florence (“Florrie”) GOTHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Florence (“Florrie”) GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 22 May 1882 Hanley, Staffordshire, England
- GRO ref: Gothan, Florence q2 1882 Stoke T. RD 6b 202; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Howlett
Shown in the 1939 register as born 22 May 1880, but above birth registration shows that the year must be wrong.
Gender Female Residence 1939 Stanley Road, Stanley, Staffordshire, England
- With her husband in the 1939 register
(Ref: RG101/5460K/014/25 Letter Code: OTGI)
Residence From 1966 to 1976 The Gables, Stanley Road, Stockton, Brook, Staffordshire, England
- Her home when she wrote her will and at the time of her death
Will 30 Nov 1966 Written Codicil 9 Mar 1976 - The codicil was just to change an executor, as a solicitor named in the will had ceased to practice.
Its interest lies in seeing how Florence's signature had changed, no doubt as a result of age: 94 instead of 84.
Died 30 May 1976 Staffordshire Moorlands Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England
- GRO ref: Johnson, Florence q2 1976 dob 22 May 1882 Staffordshire Moorlands RD 30 1157

- GRO ref: GOTHAN, Florence to Johnson, Walter Henry q4 1905 Stoke T. RD 6b 520
Venue shown on UKBMD website (viewed 9 Apr 2015) as "Hanley, Bethesda Chapel, Albion Street (Stoke-on-Trent RD)" - given that both are recorded as a Bethesda ChapeI in Albion Street I think this must be the one described elsewhere as in Shelton but I need to check
Thw 1911 census shows that they had had no children
