Charles Willis born 1862 (General)

Hi,

I'm trying to track down any info regarding charles Willis b1862
parents: MARY STERRY & CHARLES WILLIS I'm looking for their marriage, birth, death - anything really, but seem to have hit a brick wall.

Info on Charles Willis Birth Certificate;
Name: Charles Willis
Born: 21 January 1862
Father: Charles Willis
Mother: Mary Willis formerly Sterry
Fathers occupation: a Gentlemans Gardener
Mary's residence information at time of charles birth was Hampden Place Barton
St Mary Gloucestershire.

I found them in the 1871 and 1881 Census but can't seem to find anything else, I'm assuming that Charles must of died sometime before Mary and her 2 sons moved in with the Calway family, or they seperated.

Any help tracking this family down would be great appreciated.

Thankyou in advance,

Lesleyann
