Charlotte had a son Thomas Barnacle at the Branch Factory but he died aged 7mths. She applied to marry Thomas Crockett Aug 1845 which was granted, but no marriage took place. Charlotte gave birth to a daughter Eliza Crockett 25 May 1846 but she died aged 4 weeks. In 1848 she gave birth to George Crockett. Ticket of Leave granted Aug 1848. In May 1849 Ticket of Leave was revoked as she absconded with Walter Crockett to Victoria with her surviving child. Walter and Charlotte moved around the state eventually settling in Tarrawingee NE Victoria. Not sure what happened in that Charlotte didn't marry Thomas Crockett (Walter and Thomas were not related as far as I know-Walter has one brother George). Charlotte went on to have 10 children and on her death certificate and Walter's,all are listed as their children. Both are buried in the Tarrawingee Cemetery.
