I have found prison records for him and an army deserter record but these were before his marriage to Sarah. In 1901 he's living with Sarah and her parents in Ebbw Vale. I can find no trace of him after this. Sarah married Joseph Davies in 1908 and went on to have more children. Someone with a tree on Ancestry (and I never take these for granted) has Charles emigrating to Australia in the mid-1900s and records his death in 1937 in Sydney but I've searched Find My Past and Ancestry for his possible immigration and can't find a record of this. However, I do know that other of Charles's close family did go to Australia so it is possible that he joined them. It's also possible that, if this were indeed the case, that his wife, Sarah, remarried bigamously. I wonder if someone else could please take a peek at immigration records for Charles in case I've missed something blindingly obvious - which wouldn't be the first time! Annie
