Researchers in the 1980s believed that Wade was born on the 5th of October 1777 at Southwark, London, to Mary English and George Wade, and was christened on the 21st of December 1777 at Saint Olave, Southwark, Surrey, England
However, a later group of researchers, with access to records not previously available, now believe that Wade was born on the 17th of December 1775, in the parish of Westminster St Margaret and St John, Middlesex, to Lawrence Wade (died Aug 1794, Perkins Rents, Westminster) and Mary Smith (died Nov 1836, 5 New Court, Westminster), and was baptised on 7 January 1776, at St Margaret's, Westminster.
Evidence for her revised date of birth and parents includes:
- Her mother stated during the trial that her daughter was born in December.
- Mary Wade was living in St Margaret's parish in Westminster at the time of her arrest.
- Her death certificate records that she was born in Westminster.
Lawrence Wade died at Perkins Rents in 1794 - Mary was living there at the time of her trial.
