Thank you for the information on what M. S. means. That is helpful!

Thank you for the information on Mary Harriett Sophia Weeden, I can at least discount her! The Louisa Weeden, born 1840 in Richmond may be promising as I found some Singleton/Shingleton's in the LDS St. Mary Magdalen records.
I am thinking that the George Weeden (born 1812), may be this George in the 1841 census:
1841 St. George Hanover Square, Belgrave, City of Westminster, Middlesex Co., England. Eccleston Street, District 15, page 33,
George Weeden, age 30, occupation: M.S.??, not born in same county
I checked the 1841 census for all George Weeden's and this was the only one that seems to fit since he was not living with his wife Louisa and children in Maidstone at the time of the census. I don't know what M. S. means for occupation, unless I am not reading the writing correctly.

Thank you for your reply. It appears that Louisa was George Weeden's (born 1812) first wife. Their son, George Henry Weeden, (born 1834; bapt 1836), is my great great grandfather. His death record states that his parents were George & Louisa Weeden. His younger brother, Robert Henry Weeden noted in his marriage record, that his parents were George Weeden and Louisa Singleton. It appears that George & Louisa family may have moved around a bit. After the baptisms of George Henry, Ellen Amelia & Emma Louisa Weeden at All Saints Church Maidstone in 1836, their next daughter Mary Ann (born 1839), stated in U. S. records that she was born in London. I found what may be the births of two of the younger daughters on Ancestry's England & Wales Birth Index - Louisa Weeden, born 1840 in Richmond, Surrey, England; and a Mary Harriet Sophia Weeden, born 1844 St. George, Southwark, Surrey, England. The youngest son, Robert Henry (born 1846) noted that he was born in Wrexham(?) Wales. Thank you!

I am researching a George Weeden, born about 1812 in England. I think he may be the George baptized at All Saints Church, Maidstone on 2 Feb. 1812, son of George & Mary (Upton) Weeden. My George married Louisa Singleton before 1834 when their first child was born. From the LDS Familysearch, they had 3 children baptized at All Saints Church, all on the 7 Feb. 1836: George Henry, Ellen Amelia, and Emma Louisa. I found Louisa with the children in the 1841 Mortlake Parish, Surrey, England census. Additional children that I know of but have not found the birth or baptismal are: Mary Ann, born 1839, Louisa, born 1840, Sophia, born abt 1844, and Robert Henry born 1846 (possibly born Wales). This George Weeden family moved to America and are found in the 1850 Rochester, 3rd Ward, Monroe County, New York, page 99, census. George Weeden listed his occupation as a papermaker. I have been confused by the people listing George Weeden, bapt 1806 as the son of George & Mary (Upton) Weeden. I wonder if it may be because the George bapt 1812 was actually my George and since he moved to America they lost track of him and just assumed George born 1806 was the correct George? Any additional information or thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
