  • Notes 
    • Charles, the second son of Edward and Ann, as of 1871 was working as a cooper's apprentice. He was, however, still living at home with his mother, Ann, a laundress, and his youngest sibling, Ann aged 16 who was working as a general servant. The family lived at 8 Thomas Square at that time.

      In the intervening years between 1871 and 1881, he enlisted at Rochester for the Royal Engineers Regiment on 6 August 1872. He served in Bermuda for 2 years and 294 days and was struck off for permanent illness of "aortic valve disease" believed to have been caused by serving in the hot, humid climate of Bermuda. He was at Prospect, Bermuda at that time. His intended residence after leaving the regiment was stated as being Faversham. He was recorded as being of good character but not in possession of any good conduct badges. His service record also indicates that he had never been court martialled. He was 5 feet 6-1/2 inches tall with hazel [this would be the grey hazel] eyes, dark brown hair with a fresh complexion. I imagine his colouring to be very much like my mother's. He was serving as a sapper and a cooper.

      By 1881, however, Charles had again taken up the family trade on the seas. During the time of the census of that year Charles was unmarried and working as a mate aboard the "William and George" with William Rye of Faversham, Master, 33, at Whitstable. His fate following that time is unknown until his death in 1885 is recorded.

      INQUEST
      An inquest was held at the Court House this day to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Charles Gregory, aged 34 years, a native of Faversham, Kent, and sailor on board the vessel "Fanny Rapson", of Rochester (William Williams, master), who was found drowned on Friday morning last on the north side of St. Sampson's Harbour [Guernsey, Chanel Islands].

      According to the evidence, it appeared that deceasesd had been drinking hard on the evening previous, in comapny with another sailor, and in the night in attempting to get on board his vessel which was about 20 feet from the Quay, he fell into the water; ropes were thrown to him, which deceased laid hold of for some time, but before a boat could be got alongside, he had disappeared, and in a very short time afterwards the body was got out of the water by means of grappling, but life was extinct.

      Dr. Leale was called at about 10 o'clock PM and saw deceased at the Dead House; the body had the usual appearance of death from drowning.

      A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.
