The story of Charlotte McHugh/Bryant makes very interesting reading. I am surprised with all the publicity that you are not able to pinpoint her birth in Londonderry more positively as she was so infamous. Sorry if its a sore point. Jo

She may well only have been 15 when she married and lied about it! It would be a logical answer. Or maybe she was born early 1907 and married late in the year making her almost 16? Jill

Are you SURE she was actually born in Londonderry ? .... or is there a SMALL chance she may have been born in England/Scotland or Wales ... (fingers crossed) Did she die in Ireland ? Elaine ;-)

The stories say she was born 1904, in the documents about her life that is. This would make her 18 when she married. No wonder she lied. My Nan did the same thing and said she was 20. Two years later in the census she was back to being 18. Jo

I expect, though only presume she was 18 when she married but tried to say she was 22 to be closer to her husband, (They did that) But someone said are you sure your 22 and she said I'm 20. Sounds plausible? All guess work of course. Jo

I have aquired my great grandmother (Charlotte Mchugh)'s marriage certificate which states that she was 22 then it has been crossed out and 20 put there. So if she was 20 when she married in 1922 this would put her birth year as 1902. I have her death cert which states she was 29 years old when she died in 1936 which then puts her birth year as 1907. I was told that she was born in 1904 in Londonderry but I have had no luck there either. If she was born in 1907 that would only make her 15! My great grandfather was born in 1897 and it has been said that he was some 8 yrs older than her, he died in 1935 that would make him 25 on marriage which the cert agrees with. Charlotte was hung for the murder of my great grandfather and the story is well documented but gives different dates. Is there anyone who can help me with this problem or has any suggestions as to what I should do next or where I go from here .
