Charlotte Amelia Pellett was recorded as living with John Oaten in the 1841 census at Curzon Street, Hanover Square, London, and other records indicate this was her spouse. The 1841 census only recorded adult ages rounded down to the nearest 5 years; her approximate age was recorded as 35.. Also living in the house were two of their young children.^[7] She presumably lived with her spouse John at Newland Street, in Belgrave, London, circa 1842.^[8]
