''...Moreover, Gillian Bennett notes that John Christopher Burne (1919–2014), Charlotte-Sophia's great-nephew, who devoted himself to her surviving papers, discovered a notebook that she had compiled between 1862 and 1864, and commented that "Everything is incredibly well documented for a girl in her early teens", and adding "It is apparent that she was a very bookish child who already had a keen interest in the things that would lead her to be a folklorist of note in adult life". (Contd)

'...His younger son, John Christopher Burne (m. Winifred Davies (1920–99) in 1944; two sons, two daughters), became a pathologist, served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War Two, and devoted much time throughout his life to researching and archiving his family's rich history.'

...Charlotte Burne served the Folklore Society (FLS) during the best documented
period of its existence, and, almost alone of the regional collectors, was allowed
to penetrate the fastnesses of its Council. Yet she is comparatively unknown. As
far as we are aware to date, all we have in the way of information are scattered
references in Richard Dorson's history of the British folklorists (Dorson 1968), an
impressionistic, and not wholly accurate, appreciation (Bronner 1981), a tactful
biography of her early life written by her great-nephew J.C. Burne (1919-2014) in 1975, and
a life and appreciation published in a short-lived informal magazine by one of
the present authors (Ashman 1986).
