I do think you need the details of Caroline Sarah Grace Catling's marriage.
1. This marriage needs to prove Caroline was the daughter of John Frederick Catling (if the marriage isn't sufficient then you will need her birth certificate as well - luckily her combination of names means there can be no confusion that the 1860 birth reference and the 1880 marriage reference are the same Caroline)
2. The marriage also needs to prove this is the right Caroline Ward the same one living at the 1891 census address given on Charles' army papers.
However you do have Charles' other potential sibling John William Viner Catling at the same address '17 Dunn Street Hackney' on the 1891 census so even without the final proof of Caroline Sarah Grace's marriage details it feels very much like a 'done deal' as far as Catling to Ringrose for your Charles is concerned.
Once you've proved Caroline Sarah Grace Ward nee Catling was the sister of Charles Ringrose/Charles Christian H. Catling, to your satisfaction, (and you've been kept busy finding what ultimately happened to John Frederick and his wife Eliza Mary nee Ringrose) this might be Eliza Mary on the 1851 census (her marriage details will obviously help).

(perhaps on this census the children's ages were mistakenly given in months not years? - still doesn't quite work as Mary Eliza was older than 16 months on the June 1841 census)
