The National Archivist website usually charges 20p a page for access to transcripts of its records, but a special deal was on offer: £2.50 unlimited access for the week up to 17th December. I scanned these records for Gotts's. I scanned 550 pages because of the dreadful indexing to death duty registers, as you have to buy every page for records with a 'G'. I searched:
Death duty registers 1793-1860
Colonial papers
Births, marriages, deaths at sea & divorce papers
Military records
Passports to 1875 (the only one is Henry Shearman Gotts)
Out of 550 pages I found only 31 possible records for Gotts's!

BT have released their old telephone directories through Ancestry.com, covering London from 1900 to 1946.
The first Gotts to have a phone was John B Gotts OBE, of Belsize Park and later Sidcup in 1923. In 1924 Harry Davenport became the second, and by 1946 23 people had been in the phone book. If you have Gotts's in London you can see where they lived. (esp trees #079, 071. ) I haven't placed them all, so any help with that will be useful.
