Welcome to my Genealogy Mysteries

Here are some problems you can help me with:

Charles Fletcher APPLETON Christened in Kent's St. Peter, Thanet, in September 1873, his parents are listed as William and Sarah of Southwood. But William and Sarah had already left England for Australia. Also, no civil registration of a birth exists under this name. So who is this person and what family does he belong to? There are several APPLETON families in Thanet at the time.
Mary DALE When and where was she born? I have an 1881 census entry that tells me she's 26 and her birth place looks like Kennington, London. The age agrees with her marriage certificate info. But no civil registration of birth has been found around 1855 for her.
James Pedler KING Where is he and his family after 1845? After their daughter is born in late 1844 and christened in Deptford in January 1845, the family has moved. Was he in the Royal Navy? Where could they be?
Harriett MOULTON Where is she in 1881? She had left John DYE up in Cambridge and is now with William S. DYER in Deptford, Kent in both 1871 and 1891, but I can't find them in 1881.
