Did your Charles have multiple forenames? I noticed that three of the kids were named as follows:
Walter Allan b. 29th Mar 1871 registered in Walpole
Annie Edith Arabella b. 27 Apr 1885 registered in Walpole
Sarah Elta Dalphine b. 25 Jul 1881 registered in Walsingham
The reason why I ask is that Manitoulin Roots lists that he was killed in action in 1918. I looked at the attestation paper that is referenced and it does seem to be one in the same person.
I have looked up death records and could not find anything under "Clarence" or "Charles" but they only go up to 1932.
I did find a reference to the marriage of the parents and am including this in the event that you did not have it.
