    (This has got to be the same couple, even with her middle name/ initial confusion, and clearly her surname is Notcutt.  Note that the mother of Charlotte Atkinson his second wife, was also a nee Notcutt, presumably related, as the name, although rare elsewhere, is clearly associated with the area).

Charlotte ATKINSON  [ 007 ]
============================== 

24/9/1797 - Charlotte Atkinson bapt in Tackett St Independent Ipswich Suffolk to Charles and Deborah. [e]
    This is c.1798 acc to the age/date at death. [c]
    Her father was the Rev Charles Atkinson, and her mother Deborah Notcutt. [h] 

3/5/1800 - A Joseph Aston was bapt (parents John Aston and Elizabeth Bullett) at Bradfield St George in Suffolk (ap 10 kms NW of Bildeston).  The eldest son of this family is John, bapt 1791. [e] 

c 1804 - Joseph Aston (parents "DW" ?), born Bucks Eng, died 12/1/1878 Hindmarsh SA.  Arr "Sir Charles Forbes". Spouse Phoebe Atkinson, (parents Charles & Deborah), born 27/11/1808 Ipswich, died 6/1/1898 Middleton SA (children listed)  [a] 

1825 - Revd Atkinson, failing in health ...  [r] 

July 1827 to June 1828 - A dau? Margaret born (in Suffolk) to Robert and Elizabeth? [b] 

26/3/1829 - Berrington Paine, husb of Charlotte Atkinson's (recently decd) sister Lydia, writes a long `missionary' letter to Charlotte "care of Rev C Atkinson, Ipswich Suffolk" from Bellary (in the middle of India). [j] 

1830 - Revd Atkinson died of paralytic stroke and Wm Notcutt became minister of Tacket St Ind.  [r] 

7/2/1832 - A Joseph Aston married a Phoebe Atkinson in Ipswich. [s]
    This is arguably Charlotte's sister Phebe (bapt 1808, here aged 24?), and that this Joseph Aston is the Joseph Aston who Charlotte Fayers (the daughter) came to SA with in 1849.  Aston is not a common name in the Ipswich area, or in Suffolk.  (Its big in Shropshire). 

27/11/1832 ----- MARRIED ------
