ADELAIDE GOTTS. I have lived at 42, Gold Street, 12 years and I let one room. I have never had a lodger named "Summerfelt." The lodgers I have now are named Donovan, and they have been with me about five months. For five months previously to that my lodgers were named Mott.


Old Bailey record


This is a really interesting case that is worthy of reading the whole transcript. A tale of lurking in premises behind a jewellers then breaking into it at night, followed by a shoot-out with the police.

The Gotts connection is purely Adelaide being a witness, and giving her address in Gold Street. This is Adelaide 1663 married to Edward 1063 in tree 083. Their son Frank Alfred contributed a recording to the British Library on Edwardian life but didn’t mention this.
