They had a daughter Rachel born 1874. I can only find this baptism, which someone forgot to enter the forename onto:

Where is Vention please? Pam cannot find a baptism for Charles, his father John or Catherine. Neither is there a marriage for John. So where did they come from - and where did Charles go? All help gratefully received.
