A Charlotte DURANCE is listed in the 1841 census living on Martha Street...no other DURANCEs are visible in the census film (it was incredibly hard to read, many of the names of Martha Street inhabitants could not be read at all).
Might she have remarried later in life? There is a marriage entry in the St Catherine's Index for a Charlotte DURANCE of the same registration district as our Charlotte's son, George: Marriages Sep 1875 - DURANCE Charlotte Elizabeth St Olave 1d 314 [24]
