NotesCharles was sent to The Childrens Home in Edgeworth, Lancashire, England, this was built on the moors and children were taught farming.

In 1909, Charles Vokes, 17, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 25 young persons from the National Childrens Home and en route to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Charles had borrowed $250 off of another National Childrens Home boy, William Douglas Gregory, with an agreement to pay back as soon as Charles got a large sum of money he was waiting for, but Charles never paid him back. William Gregory attempted to locate and retrieve his money for a number of years.

[POSSIBLE MATCH] On May 12, 1919, at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Charles George Vokes, 27, was drafted into the Canadian Armed Forces. He declared that he resided at 52 Victoria Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; that his date of birth was September 23, 1891; that he was born in London, England; that he was not married; that he was a member of the Anglican faith; that he was an architect and designer; that his next of kin was his friend, Miss Avis Chatfield, who resided at 262 West 128th Street, New York, NY; and that he was not a member of any active militia. He was described as 5 foot 5-1/2 inches in height; medium complexion; brown eyes; dark hair. Service #3082680; 4th Detachment Canadian Garrison.

[POSSIBLE MATCH] Charles George Vokes moved to the United States in 1918 and resided in New York. He married Avis M. Chatfield prior to 1920. The couple moved to Bermuda before 1930 and were both still alive in 1950. Charles had changed his name to Charles Browning Vokes after 1930. They lived at Studio, North Shore, Penbroke, Bermuda according to passenger lists, where Avis worked as a teacher and Charles as an architect and surveyor.
