according to the image of the 1871 Census, (RG10, Folio 14, Piece 821) Charlotte is listed as daughter, not grand-daughter and, given Maria's age, that is possible. Have you found James on the 1861 Census? Were Maria and Charlotte living with him then?

Hi Tony
Do you have the piece, folio and page numbers for the 1881 census please?

I know it means spending money but the birth cert will tell you who her parents are.

Christina

You beat me with the request for the 1881 reference Rebecca!
