Did she not marry then? there are a couple of marriages that would fit

There is a marriage in 1857 to a George Waters and this corresponds to Charlotte Waters in the 1871 census born 1829 in Thornham also the 1861 working as a servant with George Waters born in Thornham. They don't seem to have any children with them in either of those census though.

On her mothers grave it said.... left are two sons and three daughters and her mother died in 1878 so i prosume she was alive then. I have checked all those marriages and they aren't her.

about Charlotte Tolhurst Name: Charlotte Tolhurst
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1857
Registration district: Malling

LOOKED ON THE ACTUAL FILM AND ITS 518a NOT 578a x

I'm not sure how you would know who she married wiithout buying a cert to see the fathers name Isaac ?

Last time she was using maiden name was in 1851 she was a house servant age 23, working for a Charles goodwin in Malling Wrotham, if that is her .I made the mistake of thinking she was married to a Solomon Goodwin but i was wrong, he married a Charlotte Hodge.

Have you checked the marriage to George Waters? As you say in the 1851 she was working in Malling, Kent then this marriage would/could fit.

bit of trivia

LesleyC HAS found the right marriage (as I have -too late!)
!857 Jun Q Malling Kent George Waters to Charlotte Tolhurst
The ref is 2a 578a on the Charlotte record on BMD but 2a 518a on the George record
Each is the only name on the record so it is perfectly clear this is the same marriage

They (George and Charlotte) are both working together as servants in Canterbury in 1861 -there do not seem to be any children up to 1891

Charlotte Waters died 1895 Mar Q Canterbury 2a 664 aged 66

Well i so grateful for your help, i saw the marriage of a Charlotte Tolhurst in Malling but it didn't have a grooms name so i didn't know what to do next, it does seem to match, i will follow it up thanks LesleyC,
Lindsey where did you get that info about Mary Ann's Will, it sounds facinating and i'd like to read it myself if possible.

thats all it says I presume there is a copy of the actual will available ?
