Charles, the son of Charles Langworthy, was baptised at Exeter St Mary Steps on 31 March 1755.

At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to Joseph Clapp, Taylor, on 12 Sept 1769. (from Company of Weavers, Tuckers, Fullers & Shearmen records at Devon Local Studies Library at Exeter ref: 58/7/9/3/3). The Indenture (in Devon Record Office, Exeter) is “between Charles Langworthy, son of Charles Langworthy of the City of Exeter,
Fuller and the said Charles Langworthy the father, of the one part and Joseph Clapp of the same City, Taylor, of the other part” and binds Charles Langworthy, the son, as apprentice for 8 years.

On 20 Sept 1778 at Exeter St Mary Steps, Charles Langworthy, Taylor, married Mary Melluish, spinster, by Banns, in the presence of John Teague. (Charles signed and Mary made her mark).

We have not found the burial of Charles. The family were still living in the Parish of St Mary Major in 1798 when the Indenture of his son Henry “ a poor child of the Parish of St Mary Major of about the age of 13 years” is between the Guardians of the Poor of the City of Exeter and James Cox of the Parish of Kingswear, Fisherman”, so it would seem likely that Henry’s father had already died.
