Name Susanna GOTHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 30 Jan 1703 St. Mary the Virgin’s Church, Denbury, Devon, England 
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 6 Jan 2015)
"Jann 30 baptis Susanna Daugh of John Gottom & Susana" - under heading 'Anno Dom 1702'
Gender Female Died Yes, date unknown Buried - A Susanna Brown was bur in Ashburton on 19 Mar 1784, BUT shown as wife of Edward, so appears not to be this Susanna. Nor is there a burial of a Walter Brown at an appropriate time, so looks like they were both buried elsewhere.
FMP index (as on 28 Mar 2018) contains no likely entry. Looking through all the burials in Devon the closest to Ashburton (1784+/- 20 years, looked at entries not just index) was a Susanna Browne buried in Moretonhampstead in 1775. As with most burial registers at this time it contains no information about age, her husband or other relation, or whether child / spinster / wife / widow. There are fewer burials of Walters (and no 'Water's - a common spelling at an earlier time but not recognised as a variant by FMP). No Walter burials in the same parish as a Susanna, nor any close to Ashburton.
To do: look at PRs for parishes not on FMP, starting with those on Devon FHS website.
It seems unlikely, given her age, but it is possible that Susanna married for a third time. If so the only one in the FMP index that could realistically be her would seem to be a Susanna who married a Zachary Thorn in West Teignmouth in 1769, but it is clear that Zachary and Susanna had children, while this Susanna was clearly too old, so that marriage can be ruled out.

No clear evidence to link the Susanna baptised in Denbury in 1703 with the one who married in Ashburton in 1726, but:
1. she is the only Susanna Gotham I am aware of of an appropriate age;
2. Denbury and Ashburton are only 5 miles or so apart
3. I have found no other events that could be those of the Susanna baptised in Denbury
