Sue, you beat me to it--that was my next suggestion.

Dewdrop, you may want to obtain a copy of Frank's birth or marriage certificate to confirm name of parents.

Dewdrop,

After viewing the actual census records, Charles Ludlam is the son of Charles and Susannah, brother to Elizabeth.

Looked at the 1861 census record and Mary was also a daughter to Charles and Susannah, sister to Elizabeth. Sarah and daughter Elizabeth Goddard were nieces as well.
