Yes, I think I've pinned Charles down to 1887, he appeared in the 1881 census aged 80. Something in the back of my mind tells me Essex records can be seen online via their own website, I'll check tomorrow, ta !
My O.P is now translated as the birth of one Charles 1801 (not 1800) and the death of his son Charles in 1879.

On a final note, there was a grandson, Charles Edward Smith, he was born in NZ in 1877 (thank you Chris Ho !) and ended up in England where his father died in 1879. His mother remarried to one Alfred Harris and CES later added Harris to his name. As Charles Edward Smith Harris he became a doctor, was decorated during WW1 and later turned up as a surgeon on Mauretania. (newspaper article 1930) I can find no record of a marriage or children and one possible record of death (Lancing, Sussex, 1950) Can anyone confirm that is his death and there was no wife or children ? Thank you, Kevin.
