So Charles born abt June 1862.

Using the Advanced Search (apologies if you've seen it, link on PR search page) you can search in many ways with minimal information.
Eg searching the Baptisms for all those having parents Joseph & Emma, enter their forenames and surname just "W" (to allow for spelling variations such as Whaite, Wait, Wyatt, etc..), will also give Charles' siblings:

Due to the high likelihood of spelling variations for this surname, when searching this site's PRs tick the "Soundex" box, to hopefully find all variations of spelling. By this you can see, for example, a long Wait/Waite/Wayte/White line in Awre,Alvington,Blakeney,Newnham etc (all near Lydney) going back to to the C17th.

Alternatively, use the "%" wildcard character, eg enter "Wa%" as the surname gives results for all surnames starting "Wa".

Unfortunately as yet I cannot find Marriages for Joseph/Emma or Charles, assuming they were in the Forest area, but have found:

Cannot find a Marriage for Mary Jane, but have this Burial which fits;
Record_ID: 3393
Entry_Number: 435

Searching the Burial Records for Charles gives this as a possible "best fit" (wrt location & particularly age) that I can see, although perhaps odd wrt mispelt name ?:

Similarly for John:

This date suggests the previous "guess" for Charles is wrong, surely if Charles was buried locally then John would have ensured his name spelt correctly ?
