Son of Mary Jane Godwin and Godwin's step-son. Godwin helped with his education and arranged for him to be apprenticed to Constable in Edinburgh in 1811 so as to learn the book trade, in the hope that he might run Godwin's business. He returns to London in 1814. He left England in 1816.

In 1828 Charles returned to England with his family and Godwin recorded visits of the family as 'Cts'. These are accordingly coded as Charles Clairmont.
