At the 1891 Census Charley is staying with grandparents George and Tryphena Fey at Landscore.
In 1901 now 'Charles' he is living as a boarder at 83 Earl Street, St Marylebone, in the parish of St Barnabas, London.It runs from the Edgeware Road to Lisson Grove, near Marylebone Station. His name is recorded in the census as Charles HARD. He is a general labourer. Boarding with him is Walter Knowles, of Newton Abbot, aged 24. [Their landlord seems to be Alfred King, a 37 year old Metropolitan Police Constable. Born in Lambeth, his wife is 30 year old Emily from Westbury. They have three sons, Alfred 13, James 10 and George 8, and one daughter Emily, 12. In addition to the lads from Devon there is another labourer boarding there - a George Snook, 24 from Portsmouth.]
In 1915 Charles marries Florence Cann, from Sandford at the Paddington Register Office, London. Their address is given as 8 Hampden Street - a terrace off the Harrow Road, across the Junction Canal from the Paddington Workhouse. We can only speculate that they knew each other before their lives in London, though it seems likely, as they were contemporaries, and although Charley had been brought up in Crediton, previous generations of his family had lived in Sandford.
By the late 1930s they have moved to Over Wallop in Hampshire, living in Fifehead Cottages, and later in 1 Piccadilly Cottage. Charley is described as a scaffolder on both his own and Florence's death certificate.His death on Wed, hers on Tuesday12
By 1901 Florence has moved to London and is working as a housemaid at 46 Gillingham Street, Victoria, off the Vauxhall Bridge Road, alongside Victoria Station, in the Parish of St Peters. Her mistress is an Ella Lawrence, a hospital nurse from Stapleton, Bristol, who also takes in boarders.
We can speculate that she already knew Charley when she moved to London, though they do not get marrried until 1915, when both are quite advanced in years.
Florence died less than a year after husband Charley.
