Mmm...
Well our OP does not quite say where Charles departed from or lived prior to arrival.
Only that he was born in Cornwall.

Brilliant thanks both that is the one. The article confirms it is him rosball as his parents did indeed live in Canada. It there are way of finding if they had children?

It is the policy of R'chat, that there is no discussion on the public board about people who are possibly still living.
If information about any offspring of the couple was found, it would need to be communicated through the Private Message system.
Records for births after 1920 in Victoria are not available to the public.
