LOTTIE WILKS (General)

Yes Roger I agree Lottie was clearly a popular name then in itself, altho of course its not unusual for abbreviated "pet-names" to be seen on Census forms etc, so I wondered if she appears as Charlotte when she gets older and perhaps more "selfconcious" ?.

That said, from Glos BMD this is a later marriage for your Lottie. Does this suggest your Frank has died by then ? Quite possible, he'd be aged 70 by 1948.

BUT age doesn't tie in !?
Could it be a transcription error ?

Both these Burials appear to share the same plot, not convinced this is a coincidence. Sadly FreeBMD doesn't list Deaths as recent as this so cannot compare Lottie's given age....
