Born in Belvidere 1869; died Northam 1960.
Married Peter Brockman in 1900; three sons (Frank, Harry and Martin) and three daughters (Caroline, Emily and Carlotta, who died at the age of 11 in 1921).

Oldest daughter of Henry and Josephine Prinsep, Carlotta features prominently in Henry Prinsep’s papers, including many photographs and letters, and detailed descriptions of her childhood and youth in her father’s diaries. Later in life, Carlotta wrote her reminiscences, which cover her childhood at Belvidere and Perth, as well as her married life, and is a vivid portrayal of family life in the colony during the later 19th Century. She was a talented singer and artist, as well as a skilled embroiderer.
