His birthplace is given as Marwood in 1901, when he is aged 43 (Frederic Mares, mistranscibed as “Harrie” Mares in some sources).

1861 shows Fred Maires, 3 b Marwood, in the household of John & Mary Davey in Marwood as “wife’s son”.

Harwood is 3.5 miles north of Barnstaple.

The birth of Frederick Henry Mars was registered in Barnstaple December quarter  1857. GRO Index shows no mother's maiden name, Implying she was unmarried. The names John Davey and Mary  Mares appear on the same page in the Barnstaple register  September quarter 1860.

Just looking at this as your reply appeared;
2 other Bapt same Church for CHARLES/MARY Mars;
EMMA 28 Jun 1851, Father a Sawyer
JOHN 19 Oct 1845, Father a Labourer

Yes FreeBMD has a 1842 Marriage.

Perhaps Charles was already deceased, or estranged from Mary, when Fred came along - hence his baptism not mentioning Charles as father.

Most of this was previously covered. I can't see why you started a fresh topic when so much was already on there

Charles Mars 36
Mary Mars   27
Walter Mars 8
John Mars   5

its best to keep everything together on one query if possible to stop people looking for info you already have.

If you start a new query always add a link as PaulineJ did for you so as to not confuse things.

Look like Charles may have been given 6 mths for Larceny in 1844 (Anc)

A Tree has him dying in Wales and this Death Reg Gro Index may be him;
MARS, CHARLES, age 38****
GRO Reference: 1856  D Quarter in CARDIFF  Volume 11A  Page 148

wow trish how on earth did you find that out
Title: Re: Tracing parents (Mares Mars mairs)
Post by: trish1120 on Thursday 05 April 18 15:52 BST (UK)
Lots of experience ;D

GRO Index is fairly new and is on line with Mothers mn and death ages for Birth/Deaths only,
You have to register but it is free to search.

As I said a Tree had him dying Wales so I just check GRO Index and that popped up.

Off to bed for me :)

Poor little Emma Mare was buried 22 Aug 1851 age 4mths.

I really dont think Charles Parents were William/Sarah. I think you need that 1842 M/C.

The Criminal Register for Charles is on Anc, all it has is he was convicted for Larceny and served 6 mths in 1844. So 12 years before he died.
