This information is awesome, thank you so much
Yes! no other researcher that I can see shows Charlotte as the first wife and mother of Lawrence and Richard. BTW on the marriage reg. the surname of Darten is shown which is a transcription error. The surname is SARTEN.Some had Charlotte louisa's older sister Alice Maud Matilda SARTEN as Edward's first wife I can assure you this is incorrect. Alice Maud Matilda SARTEN died at 5 months of age in 1870.
NZ.BD&M. BIRTHS:
1874/17385 Sarten Charlotte Louisa Mary Ann Maria Levin
another error above, Her father was LEVI SARTEN and mother is Mary Ann Maria, nee MOON they married in NZ in 1860.
Children were :-
John Edward b: 1860; George Herbert, 1862; Alice Louisa, 1863; Mary Ann b: 1865; Ernest John, 1867; Alice Maud Matilda, 1870; Arthur Edmund, 1871 reg.as SARTIN; Charles William, 1872; Charlotte Louisa, 1874; Percy Philip, 1876; Louis Albert, 1877; Sidney Edgar, 1878; Harold Darcy. 1881; Leonard Llewelyn, 1883; Norman Leslie, 1887;
