MARROTT, EDWARD CHARLES looks like Charles Edward for sure -- and with no mother's surname recorded.
I thought I'd been trying alternate spellings ...
and
MARROTT, WILLIAM GEORGE - mother's surname blank GRO Reference: 1865 D Quarter in BOURN Volume 07A Page 266
if Elizabeth was not giving her birth surname, she may have been representing herself as a single woman and not naming the child's father.
this birth showing the mother's surname confirms the MARROTT spelling

I meant to say, looks like Maddie sussed out Elizabeth Whitfield too.
Good thing, since she's the only known parent of Henry!
If Henry is a direct ancestor and you feel like spending a bit of money and time, there is always DNA testing.
If there is a direct male-line descendant of Henry available -- his son's son's son... -- that would be the best test, called YDNA.
The idea is that a match might be found who is descended from the same man as Henry, back however many generations. For instance, it could be somebody descended from Henry's father's great-grandfather. And that could give you a surname to investigate -- since, coincidentally, surnames in our culture follow the YDNA down the male line.
YDNA is passed from father to son to grandson and so on down, with very few changes over many generations.
But finding a match depends on somebody with a shared ancestor actually having tested.
(This is more likely to happen if someone in the other line emigrated to the US, because that is where most people who test are now. That is how I found a match with my grandfather's family: the man who matched was the elderly grandson, in the US, of a man from the same part of Cornwall as my grandfather, who had emigrated in the mid-1800s.)
It is the key that can unlock the mystery of unknown fathers, such as very many of us have in our trees. But only if there is a male-line descendant to test, and only if someone whose DNA holds the key does the test too. That could happen now, or years in the future!
