At Ascot and Pusey House I will try to clarify who was there. There are so many different versions. For sure there was:
Girls that went with Queen Emma in 1865:
Palemo Kekeekaakapu -- 2 years old in 1865. According to "Mission Life; Or Home and Foreign Church Work, Volume 6", p. 436-7, the girls stayed on the Isle of Wight when they went to England because the climate was better suited to them. Dr. Pusey owned as estate there called Southlands House, built in 1847.
From same source, Palemoʻs uncle is Kamakau of the House of Nobles*, a judge (need to verify this)
Palemoʻs father held "some hereditary office in the kingʻs court" and died a year after Palemo left. He was a member of the Reformed Catholic Church - so he would have known Queen Emma. Book also states that Palemo was the god-daughter of Halakaua (misspelling of Kalākaua??? or was it supposed to be Alexander Liholiho who would have been alive when Palemo was born???) and Queen Emma.
*NOTE: From Roster of legislatures of Hawaii. There is a W. P. Kamakau at the time Palemo would have left. Wife is Kamakeʻe (source). Kamakeʻe was once married to Iona Piʻikoi (source) who divided the land she received as part of the Mahele. the Hon. W. P. Kamakau paid tuition for a Maria Piikoi ("Father: Piikoi, dead, a native; Mother: Kamakee, a native), who is apparently his step-daughter. UPDATE: Jonah (Iona) Piikoi is the father of Maria and first husband of Kamakee.
Gravestone date is 11 March 1872, Age 9 years. Flickr photo of grave
Kealakai - NOT aliʻi. Daughter of one of Emmaʻs retainers. unless we find a grave at Ascot, i will assume she did NOT stay inengland. Neither she nor her family are mentioned in Mother Lydia's will.
Girls that went with Mother Sellon in 1867:
Elizabeth Keomailani Crowningburg - aliʻi. Was 8 when she went.
Manoanoa Rosa Lokalia Shaw - NOT aliʻi. "Daughter of one of the kingʻs people" Gravestone date says 25 February 1870, Age 19 years. So she was 16 when she went to England.

Lily/Kalikali Shaw??? some accounts mention Manoanoaʻs sister, but mistakenly identify "Lily Keomailani Shaw" as the sister

Who was Charlotte Teggart?
Came with Bishop Restarick.
School receptionist and treasurer
Office was in the annex of the Pro-Cathedral
Personal assistant to Sister Albertina until her death
Then what happened to her???
UPDATE:
From 1900 Census, San Diego, CA
Family:
Father - William H. Teggart, age 60, born April 1840, lemon shipper/pkg
Wife - Anna Teggart, age 57, born May 1843 (married 37 years)
Children: Charlotte, age 28, born Apr 1872, unemployed
Isabell, age 27, born Jul 1972 (donʻt know how this is possible since Charlotte was born in April)
Hellen E, age 24, born Sep 1875, school teacher
Charles, age 23, born Apr 1877, canʻt read what it says for occupation
Frank, age 20, born Aug 1879, lemon farmer
Marion L, age 16, born Jun 1883
Family immigrated to US in 1890
From 1910 Census, San Diego, CA
Anna Teggart is now head of the household, age 65, not working
Charlotte, 35, single, teacher (this would make her birth year 1875 - WRONG)
Isabell, 30, single, not working (this would make her birth year 1880 - WRONG)
Marion 25, single, teacher (this would make her birth year 1885 - KINDA CLOSE)
So they all lie about their age! Or someone didnʻt bother to really ask.
From 1920 Census - Honolulu, Emma St.
Charlotte is head of the house, age 48, single
There are 20 former Priory students living in the dorm under her supervision (including my great aunt Emma K. Pollock) They are all working in Honolulu as teachers, stenographers, and typists
Jessie Madison (the school principal at the time), 39, single, teacher, is also listed as a supervisor for some girls. Her parents were from England, but Jessie was born in New York.
From passenger list of the S.S. City of Los Angeles in 1925 that departed Honolulu on 9 May and arrived in Los Angeles on 15 May:
Charlotte Teggart
Age: 53, Single
Birthdate: 22 April 1872 Belfast, Ireland
Naturalized citizen through her father
Address 1319 EMMA St., HONOLULU - (this was one of the dorms for Priory graduates who were working but not married, probably where Cluett Apartments is now)
From 1930 Census - Honolulu, 1319 Emma St.
Charlotte is 58, living with Gladys Pearce, a 51 year old divorced Chinese-Hawaiian woman, and her daughter (also named Gladys), age 24, single. Both Gladyses work as public school teachers. Charlotte is listed as a "lodger" and as having no occupation. She is probably retired??? This is the year that Sister Albertina died on 20 July. Census was in 5 April, so she was no longer working, even before that.
*NOTE: Same census sheet lists all of the current Priory boarders.
From gravestone at Oahu Cemetery: give her birth year as 1866 (no way thatʻs correct) and death date as 1951. No other information.

Elizabeth Keomailani Lydia Crowningburg
Was born Elizabeth Keomailani Crowningburg 24 Feb 1859 in Lahaina. She had a twin sister - Lydia Kalola who died in infancy on 27 Nov 1859 (age 8 month, 27 days). Newspaper articles list a twin birth to the wife of J. Crowningburg on that date, and also a death date for Lydia Kalola in Lahaina.
Mother: (High Chiefess) Miriam Auhea Kekāuluohi, daughter of High Chief Kaiheʻekai (son of Hoʻolulu, who along with brother Hoapili hid the bones of Kamehameha I, who were both sons of Kameeiamoku, who along with his twin brother Kamanawa, advised Kamehameha I in his conquest of the islands) and High Chiefess Namahana (daughter of Kealiʻimaikaʻi and Peleuli, the daughter of Kalaʻimamahu, half-brother of Kamehameha I by the same father Keoua. Auhea was allegedly a close friend of Queen Emma, which would explain why her daughter was chosen to be educated in England.
Father: Isaac Jesse Crowningburg (many spelling variations), a tax collector in Lahaina.
1867 (age 8) Keomailani goes with Mother Sellon back to England
1880 (age 21) called back to Hawaii by Kalākaua to marry Prince Leleiohoku, who dies before she can return. She is escorted back by Mrs. (Dr.) J. S. McGrew and her daughter Kate (later Mrs. Charles B. Cooper), who later recalled stories from her mother of borrowing money from a stranger to cover the costs of transporting all of Keomailaniʻs books and music.
1881 - marries Englishman and Cathedral organist Wray Taylor, who had just arrived from Lowell, Massachusetts to be the organist at St. Andrewʻs. He had competed with 8 other organists for the position. In addition to St. Andrewʻs, he was also organist at the old Kaumakapili Church for over three years (it burned down in the "great fire of 1900"), and at the old Fort Street church. He assisted with the installation of all major church organs in Hawaii at the time (St. Andrewʻs, Central Union, Oahu College, Hilo Foreign Church, Makawao Foreign Church, Kaumakapili Church, Kawaiahao Church). He gave the first organ recital in Hawaii.
Marriage ceremony is held in the Pro-Cathedral. Little Kate McGrew and Emmelita Wilder are the bridesmaids.
1882 - Birth of son William Edward Kaiheʻekai Bishop Taylor on 28 April in Honolulu.
1883 - Birth of twin girls Mabel Nalanielua Taylor and Henrietta Kalanihoano Taylor on 10 Feb in Honolulu. Pauahi and Charles Reed Bishop offer to take William as a hānai (they were his god-parents at his christening). Offer is refused, and twin girls are offered instead. Bishopʻs did not want the girls.
1884 - Birth of daughter Emily Auhea Taylor (later marries Leon Moise Strauss, 2 Jan 1912) on 5 April in Honolulu.
1887 - Birth of daughter Beatrice Kuliaikanuu Taylor (later married Joshua Durhave Clauton, 19 Jun 1912)
1887 Death from "consumption" (tuberculosis) on 3 Aug, the same illness which claimed the lives of the other Hawaiian girls who died in England. Wray Taylor leaves the four girls (ages 5, 3, and newborn) in the care of the Sisters. William is sent to Kamehameha School for boys, as part of the first class - school was founded in 1887.
Mother: (High Chiefess) Miriam Auhea Kekāuluohi, daughter of High Chief Kaiheʻekai (son of Hoʻolulu, who along with brother Hoapili hid the bones of Kamehameha I, who were both sons of Kameeiamoku, who along with his twin brother Kamanawa, advised Kamehameha I in his conquest of the islands) and High Chiefess Namahana (daughter of Kealiʻimaikaʻi and Peleuli, the daughter of Kalaʻimamahu, half-brother of Kamehameha I by the same father Keoua.
