There is no trace of a marriage between Charles and Mary Park, despite research having been undertaken by several Farthing researchers to locate one. As a result there is some difficulty in identifying the father of the children listed with the couple in the 1901 census and therefore tracing their births.19
Mary seems to have had most of the children to unnamed father(s) before she met Charles Farthing.
