Thankyou - I should have mentioned upthread that her son Joseph was my husband's ancestor, I'll sort out a link to him.

Having found her father's will I know that she received a third of the saleable part of her father's household contents and tenement messuage and premises in which her mother had a life interest. (other 2/3 to her sisters). Her mother died in 1846.

Just realised that Charlotte predeceased her mother, so under the terms of the will her share would have been gone in equal amounts to her nine children. Charlotte's husband was one of the executors along with her brother William and father's friend Stephen Potter, shopkeeper of Shipley.
