Name Walter Henry JOHNSON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 11 Nov 1872 Comberbach, Cheshire, England 
- About 1872 from the 1911 census where shown as aged 38
Date shown as 11 Nov 1873 in the 1939 register
There is no birth registration to fit in 1873, but there is 1872 so I am assuming that the 1939 register recorded his dob one year out.

Family Florence (“Florrie”) GOTHAM, b. 22 May 1882, Hanley, Staffordshire, England , d. 30 May 1976, Staffordshire Moorlands Reg Dist, Staffordshire, England (Age 94 years) Married Dec Q 1905 Bethesda Chapel, Methodist New Connexion, Albion Street, Shelton, Staffordshire, England - 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
