James Aucott & Ann Billings

[Birstall]

I see what you are driving at. Charlotte presumably cohabited with someone named Bodycoat and had a son, Joseph around 1828 but I don't see where she was married to George.

What is wrong with the theory that she moved in with her brother before 1870? Her birth year is exactly the same as his sister.

Does anyone have a marriage record of George and Charlotte tying the knot?

Edit
Having read your post on the Bodycoates I can see that Joseph Bodycoat snr did have a relationship with Charlotte Noon who I assume is Georges sister.
You have my email address, perhaps when you have time, you could send me a gedcom file of that lineage down from Joseph snr

Do note that ansteynomad initially said:

"George Aucott's 'wife' Charlotte"

I don't think anyone is alleging a marriage.

... Oh oops, I seem to have made that assumption back in 2013. Don't tell me I'm the source of the entire confusion! (I thought ansteynomad was speaking from knowledge of Charlotte, but you may have been just quoting my old post.)

I think the "sister" hypothesis makes sense, maybe especially because in 1870 both George and Charlotte are shown as widowed. (I suspect this more specific info, i.e. on the 1870 image, wasn't available or was behind a paywall back in 2013.)

I'm irrelevant here, but what I'm not seeing is the baptism of sister Charlotte Aucott. She has a grave, though, and the info given there ties her in as sister:

So then it would out that you two actually are related, sharing the parents of George and Charlotte as your mutual ancestors!

Neither myself nor George Aucott's direct descendant in PA can find a marriage for George and Charlotte Noon/Bodycote.  It therefore seems that she was never married to either of the men in her life.  Joseph of course was already married.  He died in 1857 in Philadelphia and his wife did not die until 1884 in Leicester Workhouse.

As the date of birth on Charlotte Aucott's burial record accords exactly with the date of birth on Charlotte Noon's baptism and as Charlotte Aucott's Will leaves her entire estate to her son Joseph Bodycote, I think I am on fairly firm ground here - unless of course you know different.
