John Gerard Hudson was born in Leeds about 1816 In 1838 he married Ann Green at St. Peter's Leeds. Some time during the next 10 years he moved to London where he died in 1875.
John's father was Richard Hudson. All I know of him is that his occupation was 'Painter'. I do not know who John's mother was. John's occupation was a 'Paper Stainer"
Can any one help me at all?

Dee, Thanks for that, I'll see if I can work something from it. Rather late marriage though, but you never know.

I have found several references to Samuel Hudson, paper stainer, in Leeds between 1817 and 1848 (on which occasion Charles Kenworth stabbed him with a chisel, not fatally). Perhaps this is how your John Hudson became a paper stainer, which was a hand printer of wallpapers. Paper stainers also hung the wallpaper in people's homes and worked closely with painters, i.e. house painters, so there could well be a family connection - nephew & uncle, perhaps?. (The painters ground the pigments and mixed the raw materials to make their own paint in those days - there was no B&Q or Homebase to pop into. Some of the pigments the paperstainers and painters worked with - especially but by no means exclusively the greens - were highly toxic, and there were serious concerns about the health risk even in the 1850s and 60s.)
