Before you scoff, hear me out. It makes sense.
In Jughead, Penny announced that she will be going along with Desmond on his journey to LA, and wherever his crazy mission takes him. This will probably eventually lead both of them, and their baby, Charlie, to the Island.
Now, when they finally reach the Island, who can say 'when' they will arrive? My suspicion is that they will arrive at some point in the mid 1930s. I can't speculate as to what happens to Penny and Desmond, but for some reason, little Charlie is separated from his parents and brought up by Richard Alpert and Co.
For whatever reason he also uses his mother's Maiden name, Widmore. And as he grows up he prefers to be known as Charles as it id far more grown-up.
We were led to believe that Young Widmore (or Jones) and his gang were WWII soldeirs, but the uniforms were obviously stolen from the dead soldiers which Miles had sniffed out in the episode. Jones was obviously one of these soldiers.
When he says of Locke "He's just a crazy old man, do you think he knows this Island better than I do?" This is a humourous joke for us because the next shot is of Locke standing over the camp... but I think this was a clue... Young Widmore knows the Island very well because he was brought there as a toddler by his parents Penelope and Desmond.
Ironically, Grown-up Charles Widmore sent Desmond to the Island in the Boat Race so that he would never see Penny again - not knowing that if he succeeded in keeping the two apart then he wouldn't even exist.
Now I know what some of you are thinking. This kind of paradox would never be allowed in time-travel. How could someone be their own grandfather??? Not possible, even in the craziest of time-travel scenarios... but remember that Desmond is 'special', he's the 'game-changer', and where he is concerned ANYTHING is possible. Theory by Stupot
