We do not know Francis Gotts' parents, but Francis 1448 & Elizabeth 1443 Gotts had a large family in Yarmouth.

In 1861 census there was no sign of Francis, only Elizabeth (unmarried) and family, in 1871 the nearest link is Farrands and Elizabeth Hall (based on the distinctive family names), though why this name is unclear. Francis was a fisherman.

Adrian Derrick is a descendant of this Derrick connection.
