Christening of George Marden in the IGI on 3 March 1833 in Frensham, Surrey, parents George and Elizabeth Marden.
From the 1841 census I assume the family moved from Frensham, Surrey to the White Horse or Frensham Pond Hotel, Headley following the death of his grandmother Sarah Wilsdon [Hall] on 17 September 1837.
In the 1841 census as George Marder (sic - in the index, correct on the origin) aged 8, not born in Hampshire and living with George and Elizabeth (parents?), James and Stephen (brothers?), Frances, Mary and Sarah (sisters?), James Hall (his uncle?), Elizabeth Baker (daughter of Stephen and Mary?), William Cempter, Stephen Harding, William Larby (son of James and Maria?), William and Mary Lawrence, John Manel and Richard Saunders at I assume Frensham Pond House or the White Horse, Headley. It is not clear whether all are at the same address.
In the 1851 census as Georg (sic - on the original) Marden aged 18, born in Frensham, employed as a carpenter's apprentice, and living with his sister (Sarah - head of family), and brother (James) in Lower Churt, Frensham (his sister was a grocer so this may have been the shop at Squirrels later run by Charlotte Shrubb [Croucher] my second great grandmother, and later by his brother James and his brother-in-law William Baker).
Marriage of George Marden and Maria Baker in FreeBMD in October-December 1858 in Lambeth (1d 480). Maria was my half first cousin three times removed.
In the 1861 census as George Marden aged 28, born in Frensham, an innkeeper and victualler, and living with his wife (Maria) and daughter (Elleven) at The Lion, Shottermill, Frensham, Surrey.
He built the Pride of the Valley in about 1867 in Churt according to my father although it is not clear whether he lived there because in the 1901 census Matilda states she was born in Haslemere in 1869. The family moved from Frensham to Thursley about 1870 from the births of Matilda and Leonard.
In the 1871 census as George Marden aged 38, born in Frensham, Surrey, a licensed victualler, carpenter and builder employing three men and one boy, and living with his wife (Maria), two sons (George and Leonard), four daughters (Agnes, Ellen, Kate and Matilda M), and a domestic servant (Jane Keen aged 16 and born in Thursley) at Hammer Pond, Thursley, Elstead, Witley, Surrey. This was the Half Moon public house on the north side of the A3 between Thursley and Milford near the old silk mill.
In the 1881 census as George Marden aged 48, born in Frensham, Surrey, a carpenter and builder, and living with his wife (Maria), four sons (F. George, George Tyndale, Leonard and William), and four daughters (Ellwen, Kate, Mary and Matilda M) at West Marden, Up Marden, Sussex.
In the 1891 census as George Marden aged 52 (in the index, 58 on the original), born in Farnham, Surrey, a builder and publican, and living with his wife (Maria), and three sons (Frederick G, James T and William) at the Blue Ship Inn, Rudgwick, Sussex.
In the 1901 census as George Marden aged 67, born in Frensham, Surrey, a builder, and living with his wife (Maria) and three sons (Fredk G, James P and William) at the Blue Ship Beer House, Rudgwick, Sussex. William was married, but his wife and son were living with her parents at 74 Becket Road, West Tarring, Sussex.
His wife died in 1903.
Death of George Marden in FreeBMD in January-March 1913 aged 80 in Horsham (2b 422).
There are several mentions in Shottermill, Its Farms, Families and Mills 1730 to the Early 20th Century by Greta A Turner (2005). On p110 "In 1861 a Benefit Club was established at Marden's - the Lion Public House - and at its first dinner the Band played", p172 "On the Frensham Tythe map of 1839 Stephen [Greenaway] held Nos. 1176, 1179 and 1180, and 1185-7, cottages, gardens and a field and meadow at the Lion Green apex. Around the late 1700s/early 1800s Stephen was presented for encroachments which may have comprised this meadowland as he certainly did not seem to aquire it legally. Some of these properties including the brewhouse [...] were sold in the early 1860s by John Greenaway, son of Edmund, to George Marden of the Lion Public House", p312 "It is in 1861 that the first reference appears to the Red Lion Inn [...] which [Thomas] Chuter also built, when George Marden was the victualler there (and also carpenter)".
George Marden was my first cousin three times removed.
