Do you mean who was Charles' wife or who was his mother?
It might help to say what else you know, how you came by him.

How do you know he was born in Langley? He isn't showing on census returns.

It looks like the Charles found by Janice. I don't know where you got his birth year from!
You need his marriage cert really.

Frederick's marriage Oct 15 1883 to Mary Ann Botting is here

The parish church for Rainham, Kent is St. Margaret of Antioch

Charles is listed as a Labourer, which isn't a lot of help!

John, if you have ancestors in Medway, many of the PR are on http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

They are being transcibed on to http://www.freereg.org.uk/ which means if you can find a transcription, its easier to track down the original.
