There are a number of Eaton surnames on the FreeBMD although I do not
believe it is a common name to the area, Charlotte was not amongst them. If
you are not familiar with the site of the FreeBMD their address is :-

I have also just noticed that George Eaton was the Editor of the Neath
Antiquarian Society in 1988-89 so could well have researched the Eaton
family tree and have some information that is of use to you.. His name does
not appear in the current issue of the Neath Antiquarian Society Committee
members,so I do not know if he is still involved or even still alive. I
noticed a Mrs J.Henrywood is a Committee member and a Mr. Henrywood posts
frequently to the GLAM List, so if you subscribe to that, you may be able to
contact George Eaton through Henrywood. The GLAM list is as below, though
you will have to subscribe in the usual way.

I've just had a look at the Members Interests for the Glamorgan Family
History Society and noted only a Mrs..Humphreys from Monmouthsire
researching EATON as follows:-
Phillip Eaton Waunarlwydd juxta Swansea
Hope this is of some use,

Subject: [Br'tFerry] Eaton surname
I am new to Briton Ferry rootsweb. I am searching for 1 surname only
-
EATON.
My 3 x great grandfather was John Eaton who lived in Briton Ferry and
was
a
sailor. He died in February 1831 at the age of 23. His wife was
called
Charlotte and they had a daughter called Ann born in January 1831 and
christened at Briton Ferry parish church 13th February 1831. I cannot find
any further trace of Charlotte Eaton.
Is there anyone else researching this family? Any information would be
gratefully received.
