John Conrad Rehden lived in London from at least 1777 when he marries. He was a Tailor and married Ann Elizabeth Case. She was B 1758 d 1847 .They marry 14/10/1777 St George Bloombury Camden.
Some trees show John as born about 1743 London dying 1805--but I am struggling to confirm this. I also wonder if he was born Germany . I have letters dated 1793 to my dearest brother from a Christian Rehden from Bergdorf in Hanover. Were they to John Conrad Rehden or a generation back. If that is the case I wonder when he came to England . Keen to learn more about him and his parents.
His eldest son John C Rehden was b 1777-1843 and was also a tailor and living in 1831 at 58 Dorset Street London.
Grateful for your help.
Thanks

So is it Relden or Rehden?

Personally I think its with an H so will change it . But when I went on line to find any German Records for his brothers family It was spelt sometimes as Reden Confusing.

There is a death entry for a Johan Rehden 21 January 1805 (burial 27 January) in the Parish registers for the German Lutheran Church, Strand and giving an address for him as 58 Dorset St, Salisbury Sq. It's on Ancestry and written in German. It gives his age as 62.
Here's the link:

Thank you for that . Starting to make sense. Wonder when he came to England and why.

The letter before Johan is an H for Herr
He is described as being a master tailor (Schneidermeister)
Cause of death "Auszehrung" cachexia, emaciation
Buried on the 27th in our churchyard
semms to have been a tailors community.
on these 2 pages, 5 of the deceased were tailors and 1 was a furrier

Thanks. Confused as to location of church.Perhaps someone can help. Is it what is now called the Savory church down from the Strand in London?.I had hoped he might have left a will but I can't see one. Very hard on his wife to have been left with such a large family.

Very Many thanks. Yes I had found them and that is the correct burial. It must have been tough on Ann brining up a large family on her own. I am assuming John Snr owned 58Dorset St as he was paying land tax and his eldest Son took over the property and died there.
