This 1881 includes the following names, but frustratingly no hint as to their birthplace;

1881 Census, Bristol City Workhouse, Stapleton, Gloucester, England
Charlotte RHODES, age 7, Female, Inmate, Scholar.
Matilda RHODES, age 10, Female, Inmate, Scholar.
William RHODES, age 6, Male, Inmate, Scholar.

Is this William the shoemaker's apprentice in the 1891 Census, wasn't shoemaking one of the trades the Workhouses often taught their young inmates ?

Ref the aforementioned Rhodes children in the Bristol Workhouse in 1881, needs more work but I think it's this family, from Familysearch;

1871 St Augustine, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
Household Role Gender Age Birthplace
George Rhodes Head M 26 House Painter. Bristol, Gloucestershire
Matilda Rhodes Wife F 26 Machinist. Bath, Somersetshire
Matilda Rhodes Daughter F 1 Bristol, Gloucestershire
Ada Rhodes Niece F 9 Bristol, Gloucestershire

This is only sign of Charlotte I can find apart from 1881 Census ?

Births Mar 1873 (>99%)
RHODES Charlotte Amelia Bristol 6a 19

Unusually Familysearch doesn't have her Baptism, to prove her parents' names, whereas her siblings are all there..?

eg this definitely looks like young Wm wrt 1881/1891 Census.
