Robert's will was proved in 1807, and can be downloaded for free from the National Archives:

Thank you for your help with births and Roberts Will.
Did you see where he was born or his fathers name by chance?
Again thanks Jill.

Robert's will was proved in 1807, and can be downloaded for free from the National Archives:
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.

Milligan - Jardine – Glencross – Dinwoodie - Brown: (Dumfriesshire & Kirkcudbrightshire)

Robert Wade of Bermondsey was doing more than mast making.
London archives has a number of records for him
This is just one example
