baptism of Emily's baby, Alfred George Henry Owens at Potchefstroom on 24 April 1904, was still there to support Emily when the baby died six weeks later. Charlotte finally returned to Melbourne on the

Medic had left Liverpool and picked up passengers in Cape Town, where Charlotte joined the ship. She was recorded as being married, aged 30, occupation 'household duties', destination Melbourne. The
Medic arrived on 21 July 1904. There was no-one else on the ship with whom she would appear to have been travelling.
