Some basic information –
Parents were
John TROTT (mason) and Charlotte EDYE who married in Bristol in 1840

Census record gives different / various birth places for daughter Charlotte

Thanks Neale, the trouble is I am not sure if John and Charlotte Trott are Charlotte's parents.  No problem finding birth reg for her siblings William Charles b 1841, Elizabeth b 1842, James b 1847, George Henry b 1851 and Rhoda b 1855 all born in Bristol although sister Elizabeth's birth reg was in Taunton. Also the Trott family came from Somerset.  In 1851 and 1861 Charlotte is living in  Bristol with a Aunt and Uncle, Chas D Burk and his wife Elizabeth. I did think it was a extended family but can find no connection to John and Charlotte Trott.

This marriage announcement says that she was the eldest daughter of Mr J Trott of Bristol: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/image-share/860c2eaf-11f2-467d-a282-50e5743a3064

The marriage register records that her father was John Trott, a mason.

Thank you Shaun, yes I have seen that marriage entry and it looks convincing but there are several John Trotts from Bristol/Somerset area.  I do need a birth certificate to sort this feeling I have about Charlotte,

I have just noticed John was a Mason same as the John I have. I will leave Charlotte on my tree for the now and do some more research.
Thank you for helping

YEs, it is extended family.
Elizabeth EDIE married Charles BURKE in 1828 Llan-Llwch, Carmarthenshire

In the 1841 census, Charles and Elizabeth Burke are enumerated next to John and Charlotte Trott, in Thomas Street, Bristol.

"Thomas Street" was their residence in 1840 when John and Charlotte married.
An Ann Burke was witness.
