Charles Edward Middleton (21 December 1868 – 5 February 1938) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1896 and 1903. Middleton was born in Leeds, the son of Thomas Midleton, an engine fitter, and his wife Mary. He became an active member of Chesterfield Cricket Club. Middleton played his debut first-class match for Derbyshire in the 1896 season against Marylebone Cricket Club, in a narrow victory for the team, though Middleton did not make a run and bowled only one over for the team. He played two County Championship appearances in the 1899 season, but in spite of Middleton's decent scores in the lower order, Derbyshire lost both games and ended the season at the bottom of the table.

Charles Middleton (actor)
Charles Brown Middleton (October 3, 1874 – April 22, 1949) was an American stage and film actor. During a film career that began at age 46 and lasted almost 30 years, he appeared in nearly 200 films as well as numerous plays. Sometimes credited as Charles B. Middleton, he is perhaps best remembered for his role as the villainous emperor Ming the Merciless in the three ''Flash Gordon'' serials made between 1936 and 1940. Career Born in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Middleton worked in a traveling circus, in vaudeville, and acted in live theatre before he turned to motion pictures in 1920. Middleton's success as a character actor, however, did not become firmly established until the sound era in films. His ominous baritone voice proved ideal for villainous roles, and he became an ideal foil for comedy stars Harold Lloyd, Eddie Cantor, Wheeler & Woolsey, and Laurel and Hardy. Middleton was cast in Warner Bros 1931 film ''Safe in Hell'' as well as in their 1932 hit ''The Strange L ...

Charles R
Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form ''Charles'' of the Proto-Germanic name (in runic alphabet) or ''*karilaz'' (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was '' Ċearl'' or ''Ċeorl'', as the name of King Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in ''Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''. Some Germanic languages, for example Dutch and German, have retained the word in two separate senses. In the particular case of Dutch, ''Karel'' refers to the given name, whereas the noun ''kerel'' means "a bloke, fellow, man". Etymology The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun ''*karilaz'' meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ''ċeorl''), which developed its depr ...
