In 1901, Charles was still living at home with his mother Maria and two of his three brothers, age 29.
By 1911 he was married with two young children.
On 24 July 1916 he is recorded on the passenger list of the ship "St Paul" arriving in New York with next of kin given as Mrs. A.M. Hancox (S9). On 15 March 1937 he is listed on the passenger list arriving in Southampton from Madeira, Portugal on the Vandyck (Lamport and Holt Line), and is still a cotton merchant.

From the following it is evident that he had business interests in the USA:
From the London Gazette, 31 August 1920: NOTICE is hereby given, that the Partnership heretofore subsisting between the under- signed, Frank Charles Minoprio, Charles Edward Hancox and Edward Scannell Butler, carrying on business as Cotton Merchants, at Liverpool and New Orleans, La., U..S.A., under the style or firm of MINOPRIO & CO., and in Texas, U.S.A., under the style or firm of KENWORTiHY, MINOPRIO & CO., has this day expired, as far as regards the said Edward Scannell Butler, who retires from the firm. All debts due to and owing by the late firm will be received and paid by the undersigned.—Dated this 31st day of August, 1920. FRANK C. MINOPRIO, C. E. HANCOX.
From the London Gazette, September 1921: NOTICE is hereby given, that the Partnership heretofore subsisting between us, the under- ed, Frank Charles Minoprio, Charles Edward S1 L - -
Hancox and John Louis Jones, carrying on business as Cotton Merchants and Shippers, at 39/41, Old Hall-street, Liverpool, and Houston, Texas, U.S.A., under the style or firm of MINOPRIO & CO., has been dissolved as and from the 31st day of August, 1921. All debts due to and owing by the said firm will be received and paid in Liverpool by the said F. O. Minoprio and C. E. Hanoox, and in America by the said J. L. Jones.—Dated this 31st day of August, 1921.
FRANK C. MINOPRIO.
C. E, HANCOX (for J. L. Jones).
086 C. E. HANCOX.
September, 1921.

And then, in 1939, he and Alice plus daughter Barbara are listed on the Mauretania, sailing from Liverpool to New York and arriving 24 June 1939. He was retired by then, as he gives no 'occupation' on the passenger list.
