Great Great Aunt Charlotte Irene Mutters Brealey (later Mutters)

My Great Great Aunt Charlotte (1888 - 1890) was the eldest sister of my Great Grandmother Violet Grace Mutters (1894 - 1953).



Charlotte Irene Mutters Brealey was born in Jul/Aug/Sep 1888 in Exeter, Devon, to George Mutters (22 or 23), a mason and bricklayer, and Emma Mutters (nee Brealey) (33), a dressmaker. Charlotte was born before her parents married.

Charlotte may have been named for her mother Emma's Jersey-born stepmother Charlotte Mutters (nee Filleul).

When Charlotte was three to six months old, her parents married. On 2nd December 1888, George and Emma married in Holy Trinity Church, Exeter. At the time of their marriage, the couple - and likely little baby Charlotte too - were living in Centre Street, Exeter.

Charlotte was the eldest of seven children (4 daughters and 3 sons):

  • Charlotte Irene  1888 - 1890 (1 year)
  • Henry George  1889 - 1889 (0 - 3 months)
  • Lily Emmeline  1890 - 1970 (79 years)
  • Charles 'Charlie' George  1892 - 1970 (77/78 years)
  • Violet Grace  1894 - 1953 (58 years)
  • Anna/Anne  1896 - 1896 (0 - 3 months)
  • William 'Willie' George  1898 - 1910 (11 years)

Sometime in Charlotte's short life, she and her parents moved about fifteen miles north from Exeter to the Tiverton area.

Sadly Charlotte passed away as a baby. In Jan/Feb/Mar 1890, Charlotte passed away, between fifteen and twenty-one months old, in the district of Tiverton.
