Personally, I would be more inclined towards this family?

In my experience, Carpentry + Upholstery often go 'hand-in-hand' and this father is a Carpenter:

NOTE: - William Snr Carpenter Journeyman and son William is now an Upholsterer !!:
................................

The birth should be one of these:

Births Dec 1857 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roberts Charles William Kensington 1a 95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Jun 1858 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roberts Charles Kensington 1a 50
Roberts Charles Daniel Kensington 1a 88 *********

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Births Jun 1859 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROBERTS Charles William Kensington 1a 79


It is possible that William Snr. settled more into the Upholstery side as he got older??

P.S.

Baptism records show the birth as this one?

He married Emma Harvey, and his father's occupation was a upholsterer. And from the looks of it, the witness' were only from the wifes side of the family.. i've so far had no problems with tracing his wifes family.. it's just him.

Who did he marry, what was his father's occupation, and who were the witnesses at his wedding. Do you know if any of the witnesses were related to Charles?

Good evening :)

I made a topic regarding this guy's son, but when I continued it about a week ago no one replied.. so i'm hoping starting a fresh on this someone might be able to give me a hand.

His name is Charles Roberts, his common name has caused major difficultys finding him on the BMD so i've been unable to find which one is him to get the right birth/death certificate, I do however have his marriage certificate.

I'm hoping someone might be able to find him on the census records.. so far i haven't had much luck. This is all the info i have on him, he was born in 1857ish and I think he was born in the east end of London, most likely the Mile end, Hackney, Westham or Bethnal green sort of area. He was a Coachman. His father was William Roberts, a Upholsterer. He got married in 1883 and i'm mainly looking for any info on him prior to his marriage and i'm trying to find anything on his parents..

If anyone could give me a hand with geting abit futher back with this guy it would be great!
