Hi Linda,
Sorry to be so late in replying - I've been tied up with other things and hadn't been on Rootschat for a while.
My interest in Charlie (and brother Billy) is to do with a book about boxers from Merthyr and Pontypridd, which is now with the printers (though I could still make minor changes at the proof-reading stage). I know his death was registered in Gravesend, but did he actually live there or was it somewhere nearby?
BTW, I have his birth certificate, so can confirm he was born on 4 Dec 1913. Either your mum was a lot older than she let on

or there's been a bit of confusion. If you wish (and let me have your address via a PM), I can send you the certificate. It's served its purpose for me and I hate to throw something like that away.
Regards, Gareth
