Charlotte Devereux

[Kim2000]

As I know virtually nothing about my great-great-great grandmother apart from the years she was born and died, so any information I would be grateful for!
She was born in Norfolk in 1832 and died in 1924.
Her husband, I believe, was John Goffin.

Have you found her in all the Censuses - from 1841 up to 1911?
Have you got her marriage date?

There are lots of records about her easily available on familysearch.org
In 1841 she is in Blofield Norfolk with her parents and brothers and sisters.
She married 1857, but you will have to send for the certificate to get her husband's name.

There are also plenty of records about her on findmypast.

I didn't know libraries offered free access! Thank you so much.

On FreeREG you will find

You are going to get a shock when you see his age!

If this is the same family posted by Sandra on the other thread:

Then it looks like Charlotte might have had John Hall Gowen in Devon:
