Hi,
Following the family found by Suzard I think I have found Charles in 1901

I think his mother Maria remarried,
Maria BOARDMAN Jun Q 1894 Chorlton 8c 968
with matching details,
Edward FERNS
William Henry HULSTON
Caroline LEWIS
1901 RG13/3767 f.86 p.35 North Manchester
38 Cheetwood Lane
Edward FERNS Head M 58 Backfield Labourer
Martha " " Wife M 62
George BOARDMAN Stepson S 27 Backfield Carter
Charles " " " " " 22 " " " "
Robert " " " " " 19 " " " "
Samuel HUGHES Boarder S 22? Back M Labourer All born Lancashire Manchester
George " " " " " 20 " " " " Hyde
Maria is Martha on the image and BOARDMAN is transcribed as BOUELMAN

Regards
Daisy
