Biography

Charlotta Frederica was born in 1823, daughter of Jan Frederik Serrurier and Charlotte.

Charlotte Serurrier and Hendrik Denyssen had three children between 1840 and 1844. Hendrik Justinus (1840), Charlotte Louise (1842) and Clara Christina (1844) were baptised in St George's Cathedral. Their mother was recorded as Charlotte Serrurier and the reputed father was recorded as "Henry Dennis", although his real name was Hendrik Justinus Denyssen. The couple were never married to each other and the relationship apparently ended after the birth of their third child. The children stayed with the mother.

She passed away in 1884.
