Little Charles was buried 2 May 1891 from Wellington Row Landport.
It looks as if the family moved to West Ham:
Charles William was born 1893 and buried 20 January 1893 in Newham
Caroline Sarah was buried 24 January 1893 in Newham, aged 32.
George Walter was bp 12 February 1893 at Harrow Green, West Ham and by 1901 was in the navy. He actually signed up for 12 years in 1903.
Ada was baptised at the same time
George the father was born 22 December 1855 in St Pancras, according to his naval record:

It looks as if George remarried: to Jessie Esslemont in Aberdeen, according to a couple of online trees, when he gave his parents' names as
George Locke and
Caroline Sarah Green
So, can anyone find George on any census before 1901? Or his birth? Or his baptism?
