The will was written in November 1802 and proved in Oct 1807.

I think this may be his burial
Burial 13 Jan 1805 St Mary Rotherhithe
"Robert Wade from Bermondsey" – age?

Unfortunately his age has been cut off in the copy of the register on ancestry. Knowing his age at death is going to be useful, as there are a couple of possible baptisms for Robert Wade.
