Hi Helen,

When Charles got married, did he give his parents names?  I'm not too familiar with Australians certs so don't really know what is on them or not!

I am not sure waht to suggest other than the Death Cert might reveal more depending on who theinformant was. Hopefully Emily.
A Tree has him dying in 1884 and Emily remarrying in 1888 to John McPherson.

Also Convict Central has him age 22 in 1864 so born c 1842.

I wonder if his tattoos have any meaning? 
Crucifix, sailor, woman right arm, American coat of arms, woman with flag, LIBERTY, left arm, ship in full sail on breast

And I wonder if the India Office would have records of court proceedings from Madras - might be worth an email to them? http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/Home.aspx

According to here http://www.nmm.ac.uk/explore/sea-and-ships/facts/ships-and-seafarers/amazing-facts-about-tattoos a full rigged ship symbolises that a soldier has sailed around Cape Horn - is that the same as a ship in full sail?
