Two whole days!?     How do you know he was born in Chatham?     He died before 1851 which is the first census that gives places of birth.  The 1841 simply says whether born in county or not.  Have you got the death certificate?    Who was the informant?   Witnesses at the marriage?
Give us as much information as you have as every scrap helps.

Is he the one married to "Ester" and living in Charlton next Woolwich in 1841.  Boot Maker?   3 kids?   If so, and I am just guessing here as he seems to be the only one in Kent, then he was not born in Kent as there is an N for NO in that column.   You also need to bear in mind that ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 in 1841 so he could be older than 30.  By 1851 Esther is still in Woolwich but widowed.  She is from Harley Gloucestershire.

The next step back is to look for the marriage.  What was Ester's maiden name?
