He is on the 1881 census he is living with his parents , on the 1891 census  he is written down as Charlesett Florence he is living in lodgings with William Turner a carter as is Charles . He then turns up in Kings New York in 1893 when he marries Emma Meyer , he says he came to America in 1875 . their first child was born in sep 1893, their second born July 1895, a third in june 1898, ( he married Mary Jane Tranter in April 1898 in Kings Norton in Birmingham England ) he and Emma have another child in 1905 in America , their last child is born in 1907 .

The 1905 census had his wife as Anna. Thought it was a mistake but apparently not.
