Thanks Gail for looking,the Charles William Burn 1868 june is the same one who was living with his grandmother 1871 his father was Henry have ruled this one out already, the other Charles William born in 1868 died in same year,I have got the correct boy as the address on the birth cert ties up with recent family who lived in the area.Also on the death cert for Charles William 1868 it states he was born in Deptford in 1868 he died in 1917
