Name Margaret Ellen BOWEN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 28 Nov 1889 Wigan, Lancashire, England 
- Actual date from death registration (1939 registration shows 28 Nov 1890); actual place from the 1921 census
GRO ref: Bowen, Margaret Ellen q4 1889 Wigan RD 8c 65; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Jones
Although Margaret is shown to have been known as Margaret GARDNER as well as BOWEN before she married (when her son Donald's birth was registered) I can find no Gardner / Bowen marriage that could be hers; it would seem that the alias was not due to a marriage prior to that to John GOTHAM. In line with this, the 1921 census shows her as single and with the surname BOWEN.
Gender Female Occupation 1939 Teacher of Dancing - In the registration, also shown as having unpaid domestic [duties].
Her father was a musician / music teacher, which seems a likely profession for the father of a dance teacher.
