There is a birth of a Charlotte E Ada Smith registered in the first quarter of 1870 in Reading. So far, I haven't found her in the census records prior to her marriage.

Yes, this is the information I already had.

Charlotte E Ada Smith is, I believe, the daughter of Fortunatus Smith, and a red herring. I won't rule it out, but I don't think it's her.
