A_1779 1779-05-31 Discharge from Christ's Hospital (GUIL, 1998) Mary (137)  
George Hudson is this Day discharged from this Hospital for ever by Mary Hart his grandmother living in Dog & Bear Yard, Tooley Street, who is to provide a Master for him. Witness her hand The mark of Mary Hart George (68)  
CW: Mary White and Nicholas Hart only married in 1739, whereas Mary Hart was born in 1734 or 1735 - so Mary White was George Hudson's grandmother almost certainly only by marriage. There is, though, a certain chance that she was actually Mary Hart's mother - out of wedlock - and that she married Nicholas Hart after his first wife died.
