Gotts in Queensland, Australia

 Janet McVeigh is looking for relations of William Samuel Gotts, born 1893 in Bundaberg, Queensland. He married Ethel Ecklund in 1918 in Longreach, Queensland.

His father was Robert Gotts, born in Diss near Gresham, son of Samuel 276 and Johanna Pilch. Robert married Rachel Starling in W Beckham and emigrated to Australia in 1888 on the ship  'Scottish Lassie'. Robert and Rachel had Sarah Ann and Elizabeth, born in England, then William Samuel and Mabel Mary Ann in Queensland. Mabel was born in 1888 and married Lyons Kelly in 1911.

Is anyone aware of William Samuel's relations?

Gotts in Essex

There have been Gottses in Essex for quite some time, but we haven't got a link between them and Norfolk or London Gottses yet.

The main family is a Bulphan, near Orsett,  where we have early entries in 1841 census for Mark  b 1791 and his wife Sarah Livermore. We know of Mark's father also Mark from a lease in 1822 now in the Essex Museum of Rural Life which refers to Mark the Younger, inferring there is a Mark the Senior.

We also know of other Gottses as below: Jonathan at Cranham and Martha at Fryerning, but no records known yet to link them together.
