In 1900, Charlotte Swash, 15 (along with sister, Clara Swash, 13), arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 54 children from Liverpool Sheltering Homes, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, accompanied by Mr Andrew Drummond to Louisa Birt's Home at Knowlton, Quebec, Canada.

Charlotte was sent out from the Liverpool Sheltering home in 1900 after her father deserted the family. Three brohers remained with the mother, Emma.

In December, 1905, Charlotte Swash, 21, domestic, returned to the United Kingdom on the ship Lake Manitoba. She returned in 1906.

On October 20, 1906, at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a marriage was registered between Charlotte Swash and Gerald Bishop.

Gerald and Charlotte Swash Bishop had at least nine children: Dorothy Bishop (1907 ? 2003); Gerald Bishop (1908 ? 1913); Kenneth Bishop (1910 ? 1977); Blanche Bishop (born 1912); Gwendolyn Bishop (born 1914); Bertram Bishop (1916 ? 2003); Robert Charles Bishop (1919 ? 1980); Evelyn Bishop (1921 ? 2002); Francis Bishop (1924 ? 1924).
