==============================================
Tracing Charlotte's Parents:
Informant on the reg of daughter Mary Ann: Ellen Murrells, Grandmother, Perth (Charlotte's mother?).
Informant on the reg of daughter Fanny Elizabeth: Ellen Murles (mark), Grandmother, Perth (Charlotte's mother?).
Informant on the reg of daughter Emma Agnes: M Murrells, Aunt, Launceston (Charlotte's sister or sister-in-law?).
Also note that a Richard Murrell was the witness at Charlotte's wedding. Although I do not have a record of Charlotte's birth, Richard was born to James Murrell and Ellen Gibney in 1852. Richard had a brother born in 1857. If Ellen is Charlotte's mother, this probably places them in Tasmania (or at least Australia) when she was born.
5 June 2003 - Finally located Charlotte's birth record. She was registered at the Presbyterian Church, Morven (now Evandale) Tasmania. Parents James and Ellen as suspected above.

  Birth Notes:

Despite this being recorded in the baptisms register, it is clearly recorded in the birth column, the baptism column being empty. The name registered is "Charlotte" (no middle name was registered for the birth).
