Charlotte was born 3 April 1835 in Chesham, the daughter of Richard, an agricultural labourer, and Ann Gibbs. She was baptised in the Independent church. Her father.
She married George Burgess, a general labourer, and in 1861 they were living in Bridge Street, Chesham where their daughter Emma was born in 1863.
By 1864 when their son William arrived they had moved to Flamstead where James was born that year and Alfred in 1870.
By 1876 when Albert was born they were living in Northchurch in George Street where they remained until at least 1881.
The 1891 census showed that George, Charlotte and the three younger sons had moved to 55, Kitsbury Road where Charlotte seems to have remained for the rest of her life.
George died in 1893 and in the 1901 census her three younger sons, all unmarried, were living with her.
By 1911 only Albert, a bricklayer’s labourer, remained at home. He died in the second quarter of that year, possibly as a result of the weak chest that had prevented his enlistment in the militia in 1891. He lies in an unmarked grave in this cemetery.
Charlotte died in 1912 aged 77.
