Charlotte Willis 1861/71 census?

[ag10]

Has anyone any information about Charlotte Willis born Newbury abt 1852 ( according to 1881 census) - say from 1861 / 71 census?
I know she married Henry Martin on 17 August 1872 at St James, London, and was living in Watlington Oxfordshire in 1881.
I'd be particularly interested to see if she had any Irish connections.
Thanks for any info!

By 1871 she is working as a servant for the Barclays at Great Bookham in Surrey

Thanks Debbie,

Interesting!

The Henry Martin she married was a coachman - perhaps he was working for the Barclays too?

Also, if she was born abt 1850 I wonder if she's on the 1851 census??
Perhaps her mother was Irish? (Family rumour has it she had Irish connections).

Anyway, thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.
