Charlotte Smith

1782 - 1856  (74 years)

• Name	Charlotte Smith
  Born	1782	Limerick, Ireland
  Gender	Female
  Died	28 Sep 1856
  Notes	Re Charlottes influence on her son William His mother was one of the founder members of the women's branch of the Church Missionary Society, and during the Famine worked among the starving and homeless of Co. Clare. She appears to have been a key influence in shaping his attitudes, in particular his awareness of the poverty endemic in 19th Century Ireland. Her influence is obvious in a letter from William aged 15, writing from school in Harrow, to his mother. "I shall be glad if you shall tell how the poor are getting on about Dromoland, I hope to be able to give them out of my next ten pounds."
