Can anyone help with deciphering and the meaning of what is entered on this document in the Name line above 448168? It looks like Bro?

It looks like Bro to me too, but I've no idea what it means!

There is an example of the same document type on the link below, which indicates that up to four claims are on each card and that that the entry may not be connected to Charles - scroll down to card 674207, which is another widows pension claim:

JEFFREYS: Worcestershire & Northumberland. FORBES: Berwickshire, CHEESMOND: Durham/Northumberland. WINTER: Durham/Northumberland. SNOWBALL: Durham.

Thank you Jomot that explains it and you are correct the entry does not appear to be connected to Charles. The number 584124 at the top is the widows pension certificate number on his pension record.

Following up on the directory entries posted by Jomot, in Trows 1887 Charles is still at 179 Cherry but now listed as a carpenter again. On his death cert last place of residence is given as Brooklyn and resident in this state (New Jersey) two weeks. He doesnt seem to be in Brooklyn in the 1892 State Census though.

More concrete evidence, following the Civil War military records kindly found by Genealiza I have had some further microfilm entries emailed from a museum in Massachusetts and on one it states the residence of Charles as Hull, Eng

Fantastic!  As you say, absolutely no doubt now that it's the same man. 

Amazing really that from those brief appearances in the UK records you've tracked him from Norway to Hull and then to New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and the US Civil War.  What a great story.  :D
