Charlotte's family were from Somerset/Devon. One of my uncles did say that he heard that Charlotte was a lady's maid at Crubadale Lodge in Kintyre, which was built as a Victorian hunting lodge and located about a mile away from the croft where John Milloy lived. In England, Charlotte was a lady's maid to some very wealthy families. Whether she was working permanently at Crubasdale or just there for the 'season', we don't know. However, there are acccounts of the preparation for the hunting season. Servants were sent ahead with all the luggage, guns, etc, to ready the lodges. For a brief period, John Milloy set up his own business as a carrier. He would meet the steamers when they docked at Campbeltown or Tarbert to take the servants and luggage to the hunting lodges - or to the country houses if the visitors were guests of one of the local big-wigs.

lol I shouldn't be here either as my maternal grandparents met by chance on a railway station hundreds of miles from his home.
As far as I know most of my other ancestors did stand a reasonable probability of finding each other, but it's strange how one chance missed would mean the future for the line would be so different - and that's excluding worrying about which eggs get fertilized etc etc!

My "adoptive great-grandfather, Thomas Wolstencroft Rathbone, with his wife, Elizabeth -at least one of his wives, Elizabeth, as he had two.
I'm afraid I don't know the date.
