Email from David Abernethy

Charlotte Helena Abernethy was his grandfather's sister.

The family appeared to have been brought up in Kings County, Tipperary, Dublin and England. They were of the Church of Ireland/Protestant faith and seemed to have had some military connections. The family seem to have been fairly fragmented and little contact appears to have been maintained prior to their relatively early deaths. Charlotte's father David is believed to have travelled on a number of occasions to Canada, but always returned. His occupation in records has been given at various times, as a gentleman, a farmer and also a milk dealer.

I do believe that there were other siblings born but despite extensive searching have not been able to ascertain the name of any of these. I also believe that emigration played a significant part in the families dispersion. 

Charlotte was known to have been in service in Bootle, Liverpool in 1881 ( 1881 Census)

David Abernethy was not aware that she spent time at Little Bray, South Dublin before arriving at Liverpool.
