Trying to find Mootham

Looking for ANY Mootham connections. My Grandmother was Margaret Keturah Macbeth, Nee Mootham, born in Ashton, Essex. Her father, Louis (or Lewis) Mootham was the son of a very well to do family related to the Saint John family of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire. Louis became a Coachman and Domestic Servant probably because he married 'below his station' and fell out with his father, Reginald George Hamlyn Mootham. Louis' wife was a Mary Jane Sargent who appears to have been a servant girl working for a family in Saffron Walden, Essex. I have now traced Margaret's brother, Reginald, killed at Ypres in 1917 and found that he had 2 children, Reginald John and Gertude.
