Gotts Surname Family History

John 448 & Mary Ann Winter

John 448 married Mary Ann Winter in 1858 in Norwich. They had several children in Norwich:

• Two John Georges, born and died in 1859 & 1860
• Mary Ann b 1862, d 1864
• George William 3187 b 1864 d 1877
• James Philip 454 b 1867

Unfortunately Mary Ann was very depressed after her last birth and committed suicide. It is not pleasant reading so if you wish to read the inquest click below.

George 446

George 446 married Harriet Fisher Reeve in 1857 in Norwich, however he died soon after in 1858, so no children are known.

In his will he gave his heraldic coat of arms to his wife Harriet, and his heraldic specimens to his brother John.

Do these heraldic specimens still exist?
