I have a Robert Gotts born 0ctober 15th 1877 (sometimes given as 1876) at West Hartlepool, Durham, England, son of Henry Gotts and his wife Elizabeth Martindale.

Mr Robert GOTTS, 37 years, [born 1877] Mine deputy and Mrs GOTTS 35 years, arrived London from Australia on the OTWAY   7 Nov 1914. 

Marriage Dec 1904
GOTTS  Tynemouth  10b/403

I can't see his return to Australia as yet.

Hi!
    Many thanks to all who have replied with your help. Much appreciated!

Robert Gotts married Sarah Brown, and his brother William Henry Gotts married her sister Mary Elizabeth Brown. Both of the Browns were second cousins to the Gotts brothers as their mother was an Elizabeth Gotts.

A big thank you to all once again! :D
