Research Notes
The lack of events after 1851 for both Charles and his brother William suggest that they left the UK. Lauren Thomson has checked Victoria (Australia) marriages and deaths through to 1920 with nil result. Victoria checked because this is where their mother emigrated to in 1862 with three half siblings.
