I'd say that is the correct Charles Edward Maddie.

John appears to be registered twice in both his father's name and also his mother's maiden name, so it looks like the parents were not married at the time.

They appear to have married very soon afterwards though:-

Do you have any idea of when he was born? For instance, when was your mother born? That would give us a starting point.
Can your mother give you any additional information, such as about his nationality or names of his family members?
