George WEEDEN was born in Southwark, about 1776. He worked as a cooper. Possible parents for him are Jonathan & Rebecca (nee BRITTON) who married 15 May 1774, at St George the Martyr, Southwark. I have yet to find a baptism. From his will, it appears that he died in 1832 aged 56.
Catherine PERME b. c1779. No baptism found. Have found her aged 60, on 1841 census, and 72, on 1851 census living with her daughter Caroline's family. She outlived George but am not 100% sure of death date as yet. [A good possibilty is Dec qtr 1854, S'wark St Saviour]
