Charlotte married John HOOKINS on 6th October 1844 in St Marylebone Parish Church.
Their first child, Charlotte was born in August of the following year at 5 George Street, Kentish Town followed by Ann in April 1848 at 34 Ferdinand Street, Hampstead Road, Kentish Town. By the time of the 1851 Census the family were living at 23 Caroline Street, Camden Town.
Two years later in 1853 John Henry was born at 26 Goldington Street, Somers Town which was situated it seems adjacent to Kings Cross Station which had only been built a year or two before. Their next child Edward Richard was also born there in September 1857 but seems to have died the following year.
So in 1861 the remaining family, with the exception of daughter Charlotte, were living at 123 Grove Street, St Pancras, just a stone's throw from the River Thames. John and Charlotte's youngest child Edwin Alfred was born in February 1863 at 123 Grove Street and by the time of the 1871 Census daughter Charlotte is also back home with the family, which is now at Caroline Street, although by then Ann was living elsewhere.
By 1881 John and Charlotte were at 20 Caroline Street although Edwin is the only child at home now. Also with them is their grandson Herbert SCOTT, the son of daughter Charlotte, who had married William SCOTT at All Saints Camden in October 1876.
By 1891 John and Charlotte had moved up the road to 37 Caroline Street. Daughter Charlotte is with them with 2 of her children and John's sister Helen is also resident there. Their presence could have been through mother Charlotte's declining health as she died at 37 Caroline Street on 21st April 1893 aged 67 years. One of the causes of death was a dilated heart. The informant at death was her daughter-in-law Jessie who had married Edwin in 1885 and whose address was also declared as 37 Caroline Street although by 1891 they were living at No. 25.
After Charlotte's death, her husband John lasted only 8 months, as he died on 9th December that same year aged 71.
