On 25 October 1846 he was baptised at St Matthew's Church, Brixton Hill, Brixton, Surrey (now Greater London), where in the baptismal register his family are shown to be living in Regent Row, Brixton and that his father was a bricklayer.

Hubbard, aged 4 years and a scholar living in Regent Row, Brixton, with his widowed mother who was aged 31 years and whose occupation was listed as washing and charing, together with four siblings who were all scholars: Sarah Jane Hubbard, aged 10 years; John Thomas Hubbard, aged 9 years; Mary Ann Hubbard, aged 6 years and Alice Elizabeth Hubbard, aged 1 year.
In the census that was compiled on 7 April 1861 he was shown as aged 14 years and a groom, living at 27 Regent Row, with his widowed mother who was aged 41 years and a laundress, together with four siblings: John Hubbard, aged 19 years; Mary Ann Hubbard, aged 16 years - a servant; Alice Elizabeth Hubbard, aged 11 years - a scholar and Frederick Hubbard, aged 2 years.

The census return form clearly shows him and his wife as the father and mother of Chalton Hubbard and as no trace can be found of a birth of a Chalton Hubbard, it is believed that this man was originally born as Nathaniel William Hubbard and changed his name to Chalton Hubbard.
