Gender Male Buried 10 Apr 1618 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Crewkerne, Somerset, England - From FreeReg
Also on Somerset burial index (on FMP, viewed 29 July 2017) but this shows the date as 13 Apr
Both show his name as William Gottam
I do not have proof that the burial was of this William; given the scarcity of the name it seems probable, especially as I have found no children of his marriage and a Mary Gotham married, like William, a few months later - presumably his widow.

Other Partners: John CLARK m. 15 Jun 1618Married 19 Jan 1617/18 St. John the Baptist Church, Broadwindsor, Dorset, England - From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 4 Mar 2015)
Gotham is a rare surname in Dorset and Somerset. With Broadwindsor only 6 miles from Crewkerne it seems reasonable to think the one who married there was the one baptised in Crewkerne, especially given that the latter would have been aged about 23 at the time of marriage, i.e. a likely age. However, I have not yet looked at the survival of Parishes / BTs in the neighbourhood to know if there might have been other Gothams in neighbouring parishes which do not now survive, nor of the coverage of Somerset / Dorset by the resources I have seen (I think Dorset is well covered by Ancestry but the odd parish may have withheld permission; Somerset may be less well covered).
