Lost a Gotts in the census?
Could be listed as Gott or Goths or Golts or Gatts or Cotts There are some variations on the name Gotts, eg Gott in Yorkshire and the North-east. Other variations I have found are:

I have identified 95% of Gottses in the 1911 census, so if we can get back to there we should be able to link you into a tree.
