Probable marriage for his parents, from FreeBMD

Dec qr 1863, registered Pancras
Felix CARTER and on the same page: Maria HUNT

The marriage, by banns, took place at St Pancras church, 24 November 1863
Felix CARTER, bachelor, gentleman, full age, resident Chalcot Crescent, father: Henry CARTER, dead
Maria HUNT, spinster, junior, resident: St Clement Danes, father: Frederick Knight HUNT, dead
Witnesses: Charles TOYE?, Ann CARTER

There is a later marriage for Felix CARTER snr as he applies, as a widower, for a licence to marry Rose Maria NOYES 30 March 1885.
(Some of the online public trees that I looked at seem to confuse the two wives.)

The marriage, by licence, took place at St Mary's, Islington, 1 April, 1885, one day after grant of the licence.
Felix CARTER, 42, widower, solicitor, residence: 3 Tollington Place, father: Henry CARTER, surgeon
Rose Maria NOYES, 36, spinster, residence: 3 Tollington Place, father: James NOYES, wine merchant.
Witnesses: Albert CARTER, Milly CARTER,

The England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations) shows that Felix snr died 30 June 1893 and his widow, Rose Maria CARTER is granted probate of his estate worth over 4000 pounds.  His occupation is listed as solicitor and his addresses are 3 Tollington Place, Tollington Park and 12A Watling St London; he died at Ivy Cottage, Reydon, Suffolk.

There is other information available which I'm happy to post if you want it, but you may already have it.

Hi Cheran,

The 1st Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train was a unique unit formed made up of Naval Reservists in 1915 and Felix was a member of that unit.  The unit did great work at Gallipoli and that is where Felix sustained his inguinal hernia injury and he had to come back to Australia for surgery. The Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train was disbanded in May 1917.
