Christening of James Marden in the IGI on 15 February 1835 in Frensham, Surrey, parents George and Elizabeth Marden. The same information is in the West Surrey Family History Society Frensham Baptisms adding his father was a carpenter.
From the 1841 census I assume the family moved from Frensham, Surrey to the White Horse, Headley following the death of his grandmother Sarah Wilsdon [Hall] on 17 September 1837.
In the 1841 census as James Marder (sic - in the index, correct on the origin) aged 6, not born in Hampshire and living with George and Elizabeth (parents?), George, and Stephen (brothers?), Frances, Mary and Sarah (sisters?), James Hall (her 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 James Marden aged 16, born in Frensham, employed as a carpenter's apprentice, and living with his sister (Sarah - head of family), and brother (Georg) 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 him and his brother-in-law William Baker).
In the 1861 census as James Marden aged 26, born in Frensham, unmarried, employed as an agricultural labourer, and living with his brother-in-law (William Baker), sister (Sarah), two neices (Mary and Fanny), and three servants (William Shrub aged 18 and born in Headley, Hampshire, Henry Bicknall aged 16 and born in Witley, Surrey, both employed as carters i.e. farm servants, and Ann Deadman aged 15 and born in Dockenfield) in Churt, Frensham (my second grandmother Charlotte Shrubb (Croucher] was next door at Squirrels so I assume this was Hale House which ties in with the 1881 census).
In 1871 census as Jame (sic) Marden aged 35, born in Frensham , unmarried, no stated employment, but stated to be a visitor and living with his widowed mother (Elizabeth), two brothers (Jame and Stephen), two sisters (Amelie and Elizabeth), niece (Elwin Marden) and a servant James Carpenter (aged 15, born in Frensham and employed as an ostler) at Frensham Pond (the White Horse or Frensham Pond Hotell).
In the 1881 census as James Marden aged 45, born in Frensham, unmarried, employed as an assistant on farm (dom servt in door) which I think means an indoor domestic servant, and living with William Baker (his widowed brother-in-law) and two neices (Mary and Fanny) at Hale House Farm, Churt, Frensham.
In the 1891 census as James Marden aged 55, born in Churt, Surrey, unmarried, employed as an assistant farmer and grocer and living with his widowed brother-in-law William Baker, and two neices (Mary and Fanny) at Squirrels Farm, Churt, Frensham.
In the 1901 census as James Harter (sic - in the index, correct on the original) aged 66, born in Chart, Frensham, single, employed as a manager and living with his two neices (Mary - head of the family and a farmer, and Fanny Baker) at Wheeler's Farm, Thursley, Surrey.
Death of James Marden in FreeBMD in October-December 1904 aged 70 in Hambledon (2a 99) which included Thursley.
James Marden was my first cousin three times removed.
