Did the parents give all the children numerals for names? Was William "Primus" from birth? Eight children is possible between 1861 and 1875 (and not uncommon).

charles oct appears in 1901 census only and his name is misenscibed ,he left uk and lived in usa with his elder brother william primus for most of his early life ,he married in richmond and became very rich owning one of the first rolls royce cars he died in 1933 in brighton sussex and was in london times i found that gro on bmd but am not sure as someone else i knowe doing tree fought he was from new cross ,but i cant find proof of that

yes that looks like them william was a marriner,born in poplar pack rd to be precise they had ten children in total most of them were born in hackney and stepney but charles is odd and like i say i cant find him ,,his birth should show up somewhere but he may well of left the uk before 1881 census as his parents sent him to france to be educated ,which is what he also done to his family

Have you found Charles on ANY census?

What is the source of your info about his birthplace?
