  • Name: Brent, Miss Charlotte
  • Gender: Female
  • Birth Date:
  • Death Date:

Charlotte is the younger (very attractive) sister of Mary Brent/Morgan, married to John Morgan, friend of Coleridge. Coleridge was much taken with Charlotte. The entries coded are to Miss Brent. However there are a few later Brent entries, which might relate to Charlotte, or might be to her father, a Hatton Garden silversmith. However, all these Brent entries are in the company of Morgan, and John Morgan has died before these later entries, which suggests that Morgan and Brent might refer to the two sisters. They have been coded as such, although the attribution is uncertain.
