Charles's brothers were Louis and Burton.
The three boys were orphaned at an early age and all ended up in different farm homes.
It was a common practice back then that a farmer would go to the orphanage and take in a young boy so he could work on the farm.
As far as anyone knows, none of them were formally adopted so they kept their Spice names.
