  	I am not generally researching all the names similar to Gotham / Goatham, just recording those with them when their name was Anglicized or similar to Gotham or Goatham. In this case I have added Albert Van GOETHEM as although he seems not to have been recorded as a Goatham in any official record, his name was recorded in at least two newspapers as Albert GOATHAM when he was in trouble for having an unjust pint measure in 1896.
