Notes - The only plausible baptism for a Charles Thomas in the HGS index is in Ellingham on 29 May 1791, son of William and Martha. However that is almost certainly the baptism of the Charles Thomas found on the 1841 census in Ellingham, and in the 1851 and '61 censuses in Harbridge, living with his wife Martha.
Many of the descendants of James and Elizabeth of Damerham used both the surnames Thomas and Goffe, and this dual surname usage extends back at least to Elizabethan times. The only plausible baptism for a Charles Goffe in the HGS index is in Lyndhurst on 17 Apr 1789, son of John and Elizabeth Goffe. There's no indication that members of the Goffe family from Lyndhurst did also use the surname Thomas, but regardless, this Charles was buried in Lyndhurst on 22 Oct 1813, aged 24.
If Charles is an unrecorded son of one of the couples known to be living in Beaulieu at this time, it can only be Henry and Mary, or George and Hannah. On the 1841 census, Charles is shown as aged 45–49 (i.e. born 1791–96), born in Hampshire, and is living with the elderly Henry Thomas. The household is enumerated in between the households of Henry's two sons-in-law, William Harding and Stephen Collins, so if Henry needed looking after in his old age, his daughters were on hand to who could presumably have done so. That he was living with Charles strongly suggests Charles was his son.
(There is also a Charles Thorne on the 1841 census, aged 45, with his children William and Anna. Ancestry.com has mistranscribed his surname as Thomas, but there is little doubt the name actually reads Thorne and he is man who married Mary Gould in 1828.) [3, 4]
