Charles was born in England in 1849, a year after the Camerons retired
there. In a letter to Sir John Herschel, Julia Maragaret Cameron complained
that Charles and his younger brother, Henry, were fonder of amateur
theatricals than their studies. Charles worked on the family coffee
plantations in Ceylon with his elder brothers. There is no record that he
married or had children.
