Name Selina GOWLLAND Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 25 Sep 1808 Dover, Kent, England 
- About 1808 from age given when death registered in Australia, but shown as aged 61 on emigration papers.
Parents named on her death cert. indicates it was the Selina Gowlland with the baptism below that John Gotham married, and hence that the age given at death rather than that on the emigration papers was right.
Actual date from the baptism entry, place from censuses (1851-1871)
Baptised 9 Jun 1809 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Dover, Kent, England - From PR (transcribed data on KFHS DVD)
Shows Selina, daughter of Joseph [sic] and Peggy GOWLANDThere is also transcribed data from the PR entry on FamilySearch.
This gives the father's name as Josiah, suggesting an error in the KFHS transcript, and also gives the dob as 25 Sep 1808
Gender Female Emigrated 5 Apr 1880 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Arrival - Selina Goatham, aged 61, English, arrived in Australia on board the Chimborazo in 1880 - as did her husband (although strangely they weren't listed togther in the passenger list).
The arrival port is shown as 'Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia', I think meaning the ship called at all three. As John subsequently lived in Melbourne I am guessing that that is where he disembarked.
Died 1900 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - From online index of death registrations: reg. no. 2863 / 1900, name: GOATHAM Selina, age 92, father's name: Josiah GOWLLEND, mother's name: Margaret THORNION

GRO ref: Goatham, John to GOWLLAND, Selina q4 1848 Kensington RD 3 328
Probably no children - if there were any born to the marriage they almost certainly died young. Selina was 40 when the couple married reducing the liklihood of children, and none is with Selina in any of the censuses.
