Gotts Surname Family History

In a discussion with Janet Evans who descends from tree 092 through the Brentford family of James Moore m Ann 562 Gotts, Janet pointed that she had found them in Ealing High St in 1851. She also noted that in 1881 they had a lodger called Annie Gotts:

1881 335 High St Ealing

• MOORE James Head m 20 b 1861 Brentford
• MOORE Ann 562 Wife m F 20 b 1861 Brentford
• GOTTS Annie Lodger U F 20 b 1861 Brentford

Round the corner are: 1881 census: Back Lane From Church Alley To Fox & Hounds, Ealing, Middlesex

• ALLAN Alexander Head m M 49 b 1833 Labourer Scotland (Transcribed as ALLAIS not Allan)
• ALLAN Caroline 2883 Wife m f 51 b 1831 Brentford
• GOTTS Peter 2879 Son Widower M 25 b 1856 Labourer Brentford

Peter was the head of tree 113 and shows him as widowed at 25 and also shows his mother Caroline.

Working back to 1871 we find: Back Lane From Church Alley To Fox & Hounds Alley including Retort Alley Ealing Middlesex

• ALLAN Alex Head m M 49 b 1833 Labourer Scotland Middlesex
• ALLAN Caroline 2883 Wife m f 51 b 1831 Nurse Brentford Middlesex
• Peter Gotts 2879 Son unm M 15 b 1856 Servant Brentford Middlesex
• Anne Gotts 3501 Daughter unm f 11 b 1860 Brentford Middlesex Deaf

This shows Peter and Annie as siblings, and Annie as deaf.

1861 census:shows them in the same location: High St next to Back Lane, Ealing, but listed under GOOTS

• William Head m m 43 Stoker at gas factory b 1818 Norwich Norfolk
• Caroline 2883 Wife m f 39 b 1822 Brentford Middlesex
• Peter 2879 S u m 5 scholar b 1856 Brentford Middlesex
• Ann 3501 d u f 10 months b 1860 Brentford Middlesex

This links both Ann & Peter back to William who married Caroline Shepherd in 1849 in Brentford.

Going back another census we have a different Ann, b 10 years earlier:

1851 census: 4 Eatons Row Ealing

• William 564 Gotts Head 37 Gas man b 1814 Ranworth
• Caroline 3180 Gotts Wife 27 b 1824 Brentford
• Ann 3181 Gotts Dau 1 b 1850 Brentford

This shows there were two Anns which we can find in the birth & death indexes, and links together tree 113 for Peter James and Ann and Caroline his mother in tree 092
