      The only Annie GOTHAM who it seems could have married James is Harriet Annie. The probate calendar entry for her is indexed under both 'Annie' and 'Harriet Annie', showing she was known by both names.

      It's difficult to distinguish children of this marriage from illegitimate Gotham children born in the 20 years or so after their marriage. Those shown here as their children are based on the Cheshire links of the family.
