Lannanta - actually there were no conclusions other than mulling over the various Census entries.
However I have done a little work tonight (see email) and can now piece a little more of the family together which should go someway to explaining young Carlotta.
I googled for the name and found the interesting article I sent you.
Since then I have done some more work on Falmouth information along with FreeBMD.
Gandolf was 'concerned' about a 'single lass' going off to South Africa, having an illegimate child and then returning to Cornwall with that child whilst still using her maiden name.
The answer to the last part of the problem is easy as Wilmot married her widowed cousin John Baragwanath at Towednack in 1849.
To back up a little - and then move forward.
John Baragwanath was the son of John and Hannah Baragwanath but I have not yet found his baptism or the marriage of his parents.
John senior was baptised at Towednack 20th July 1788 son of Matthew Baragwanath and Catherine Renoden.
He was a butcher and at sometime before 1814 married Hannah and moved to Falmouth where a number of his children were born.
Son John, presumably the eldest, married Elizabeth Trice at Falmouth 2nd November 1836. (I originally had a different marriage for him but have now made corrections.)
Before I found the article on the 'net I consulted a booklet I have that has not been looked at for years.
It is to do with a Baragwanath Research Project started back in the late 80's or early 90's.
To quote:-
Another branch of the Baragwanath family stems from John who emigrated to South Africa after his wife Elizabeth had died in Falmouth.
He married again and with his young family sailed on the ship the "Lady Bruce", which was bound for Calcutta, on the 16th February 1850.

John was the grandfather of Orlando Baragwanath after whom a Hospital in South Africa was named.
The second wife was Wilmot, his cousin, whom he married at Towednack 6th November 1849.
According to the article John and Wilmot sailed with four young children and a fifth, Charles, was born at sea but died in infancy.
The following quote from this article might help explain Carlotta Louisa Demory:-
Quote:-
The last contemporary references to Baragwanath and his wife both date to 1855. It appears that by this time their marriage had broken up.

This date coincides with the approximate birth of Carlotta.
There is then reference to a story of John having returned to England for surgery but did not survive the operation.
The approximate date given for his death was 1873 "However, judging from other evidence, it appears to have been before this, possibly as early as the late 1850's."
We now know that Wilmot 'retained' her maiden name because she married a Baragwanath cousin. (How unusual in Cornwall
).
There is evidence suggesting a possible marriage breakup and also the possible death of her husband around the late 1850's.
I would suggest it possible that there was no actual break-up of the marriage but rather that John died around the time of those last 'contemporary references'.
Wilmot possibly then had a 'liaison' with Carlotta Louisa Demory the result and then returned to England prior to the 1861 Census.
She then married John Quick in 1862.
