A few more thoughts
There is a Wolverhampton Charles born c 1873 on the 1881 and 1891 census - only problem is his father is Richard not Charles. Maybe worth checking out the original parish register entry for your Charles/Alice marriage it could be the Charles as father is a mistake.The above Charles is missing from the census in 1901. There is an April qtr 1901 marriage in Wolverhampton for a Charles to either a Charlotte or Sarah - presumably after the census as I can't see them in 1901.
It is possible Alice and Charles did not marry because she was under 21 when they began having children and her parents wouldn't give permission. Maybe Charles then married someone else but he and Alice continued their relationship.
Happy hunting

Its been a long wait but i have the 1911 census page for Alice and Charles Doughty.  They are now living together as man and wife in brunswick street with 5 children John, 13, Charles 12, Edward 8, James 5 and Rose 1 yr 6mths.  It also says there were 4 other children born alive but no longer living. All are listed as born in wolverhampton accept Edward who was born in Runcorn Cheshire.  Charles occupation is now bricklayers labourer not boatman and his age is 43 despite him been listed as 40 on his wedding cert 4yrs later, no wonder i couldn't find him.  As they are still at same address when they got married i know i'm looking at the right family.  There were 2 Charles doughtys born in wolverhampton at around the right time of 1865 1866 and both had fathers named charles so how do i now find out which is the right 1.  And how do i find out who he was previously married 2. The census has narrowed it down but raised more questions.
Any help much appreciated.
