Is he the same person as Charles Ernest ASHCROFT who married Adelaide URCH in 1899 in Western Australia?  If not can you tell us more about your Charles?  Who and where did he marry?  Where did he die?

OK, I see that Charles died in WA in 1963.  WA electoral rolls have living in the same area as Charles a Frank and Mary ASHCROFT, both Charles and Frank were Orchardists - perhaps they were related.

There are 3 ASHCROFT births in Benalla, Victoria about the right period.

Parents are John ASHCROFT and Elizabeth Helen GRAHAM. No marriage found in Victoria.

Children:
Francis 1865 (may be Frank mentioned by Debra)
Arthur 1867 (died aged 3 months)
Wm Hy 1869

Possible deaths in Victoria for John in 1891 aged 62 (reg 1666) and Elizabeth in 1895 aged 63 (reg 4645X1905).

This appears to be another son of John & Elizabeth of Benalla, John Thomas - no birth reg for him either I can see:
