The Percy family doesn't seem a likely link in 1901 son Myles is too old  6 to be Lottie's birth son .  Although she is the right age + place of birth 1881+Birkenhead so far no other Lottie's have turned up . I'll keep looking .
Thanks for suggestions .

He doesn't have to be Lottie's son.

yes that's true ; in Charlotte's letter to her birth daughter she said she had a son but he could have been a step-son . That is also an indication to us that she didn't have lots of children in later life .Another reason we eliminated the welsh Charlotte nee Roberts

If, by any chance, that was her, she could have had a son later with that man but we don't know, sadly.

I can't see  anything really. The 'husband' is difficult as only initials.
The son, Myles may have gone to Australia in 1911 - there is a record for same name but no age or any other information.

We thought she was a candidate because of first name, age and place of birth.

I did once find a Charlotte Robertson in a  Birkenhead 1901 trade directory after trawling thru pages on computer I dismissed her as she had a birthdate  1891  then realized 10 years old was a bit young to be working as a semstress + it could have been a mistranscription of 1881  but then I couldn't find the same book or page I'd looked in.
