1871 British Census, Solihull, Warwickshire: The family was staying at a residence at Shopley Heath in Solihull. Charles is listed as son, age 9, scholar, born in Solihull, with eight brothers and sisters. Father Henry is working as a chimney sweep [RG10; Piece: 3189; Folio: 81; Page: 14; GSU roll: 839252].

In 1879, Charles Claydon with father Henry went to Liverpool, probably by train, and boarded the steamship SS Wyoming as steerage passengers. They arrived about ten days later at Castle Garden port of New York on July 9, 1879. They were probably preparing the way for the rest of the family by locating a residence and finding work. On November 26, 1879, Ann Claydon and children Burlton, Clara, Herbert, Nora, Percival, and Rose arrived at New York City. A few months later, son William arrived in New York on April 17, 1880, on the steamship City of Chester.
