I would remark that the "a" of "Charles" is much more firmly 'closed' than the two potential "a" characters in the surname.
The smudged probable consonant does look much the same as the "r" of "Charles".
I agree that it's more likely to be a long-s than an f in the middle.
The "e" at the end should be regarded with caution - it could easily be a flourish and not an actual letter, in the same way that there are a lot of Cornish BARRONs transcribed as BARROWs because of a flourish in the script.
ChristineResearching: BENNETT (Leics/Birmingham-ish) - incl. Leonard BENNETT in Detroit & Florida ; WARR/WOR, STRATFORD & GARDNER/GARNAR (Oxon); CHRISTMAS, RUSSELL, PAFOOT/PAFFORD (Hants); BIGWOOD, HAYLER/HAILOR (Sussex); LANCASTER (Beds, Berks, Wilts) - plus - COCKS (Spitalfields, Liverpool, Plymouth); RUSE/ROWSE, TREMEER, WADLIN(G)/WADLETON (Devonport, E Cornwall); GOULD (S Devon); CHAPMAN, HALL/HOLE, HORN (N Devon); BARRON, SCANTLEBURY (Mevagissey)...
