George Mudford and Mary Newton were married on 24 June 1799 in St Mary , Lambeth, London.95,121 The Marriage Register of St Mary, Lambeth, London has the entry:
George Mudford, Bachelor, and Mary Newton, Spinster, both of this Parish were married by Banns on 24/6/1799. He signed and Mary made her mark.
The witnesses were William Small and W Gawler, both of whom signed.
Mary (Newton) Mudford died pre 1841 since she is not in the 1841 Census with George.
Several of George Mudford's siblings were also living in Limehouse in 1841.
It is therefore possible that his whole family (parents and siblings)
moved to the area at the same time, maybe the 1790s. The whole family
were involved in weaving sailcloth.
