On the death record of their first child, Alexander, in 1868, Charles' occupation was given as police constable in Dundee. Charles apparently came to the United States before the rest of his family, as his record in the Declarations of Aliens (Volume 8, p. 398, 9 October 1880) in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, states that he arrived in the United States in September 1868. His wife and children arrived in New York from Glasgow on 31 October 1872, on the S.S. California. The California was built by Alexander Stephen & Sons of Glasgow and was launched on 12 March 1872. Its maiden voyage was 15 June 1872, and it was scrapped in 1904. Charles probably came first to find employment, and then returned to Scotland to prepare his family for emigration. He is listed in the 1871 census of St. Mary, Dundee, with the occupation of police officer. There is no date on the census record. Again, he must have returned to the United States before his wife and children. He is probably the Charles Duff listed on the passenger manifest for the S.S. Anglia, which arrived in New York from Glasgow on 16 September 1871. On 7 August 1883, Charles was appointed a patrolman (Patrolman 160, at $840 per year) with the Cleveland Police Department, and took his Oath of Office the same day.
