    Grocer 
    • When Charlotte was widowed in 1885 her unmarried sister Susanna was probably a grocer in Strete (she had been at the time of the 1881 census). As Susanna was to die in 1886 I guess she may already have been ill, and Charlotte may have gone to help her, or perhaps she went for company or to manage things at the end when Charlotte was dying. However it was, by 1891 Charlotte had taken the place of her late sister as grocer in Strete.
