Charlie was born 1858 in Whitby, Yorkshire, the son of James Turner McMahon and Mary Jane Headlam. On the registration of James & Mary’s marriage their surname is McMahon:-

Marriages Jun 1855
HEADLAM  Mary Jane    Whitby  9d 619   
MCMAHON  James Turner     Whitby  9d 619

By the time their son Charles was born they had changed the spelling to Mickman. That is the spelling they used in all the census and further registrations.

Births Sep 1858

Charlie had at least four siblings – Frederick 1860; Louise 1865; Emily Ann 1869 & Harry Headlam 1873.

Charlie married Annie Eliza Hooper in 1885, Annie was a widow with two young daughters so Hooper may not have been her maiden name.

Marriages Mar 1885
Hooper  Annie Eliza     Camberwell  1d 838   
Mickman  Charles Headlam     Camberwell  1d 838

As far as I can see Charlie & Annie only had the one daughter, Alice Louisa S who was born in 1896 and married in 1919:-
