[1] He was born at Bromley Common, Kent and died at San Remo in Italy.
[3] Charles' younger brother was Frederick Norman, a leading merchant banker of Victorian times, and Frederick's son was Montagu Norman who became Governor of the Bank of England.
There were family connections too in politics and public life: Ronald Collet Norman, chairman of London County Council and of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and Maurice Bonham Carter, H. H. Asquith's Principal Private Secretary, were nephews.
Many of the family also played first-class cricket, including Charles Norman's father, his brothers Frederick and Philip, and Maurice Bonham Carter.
By modern standards his batting figures are not impressive and he averaged only 9.09 runs per innings across 13 first-class matches; against the MCC in a match for Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1853, however, he scored 31 and 34, the two highest scores of his career.
