Charlie Kinsella was placed in care on September 7, 1906, and admitted to Barnardo's Orphanage, 27 September 1906, after the death of his father. His parents were separated and his father, who served in the Royal Marines, had moved north to Hanley with Charles. His father told friends he was widowed, probably because when he had returned from being at sea, his wife was pregnant by another man. She married this man, and had 3 more sons. Charles never saw his mother again, but always remembered her name.

In 1907, Charles Kinsella, 8, arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 262 Barnardo children en route to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Charlie was eventually placed with Duncan Stewart and family in Melancthon, Dufferin, Ontario. He stayed with this family until he was at least 18.

On November 5, 1925, at Melancthon, Dufferin, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Charles B. Kinsella, 25, farmer, born Birmington England, to Charles Bartholomew Kinsella (mother's name not known); and Mary Gertrude Wood, 20, born Brechin, Ontario, Canada to James Wood and Rosella Clutchy.

Mary Wood Kinsella died young, leaving Charles with four young daughters. Eventually he was forced to give them up to foster care.
