I think this is the same family in 1841, although George is not with them.


If he was a seaman, he may well have been at sea.

Note that ages of persons over the age of 15 were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 on the 1841 Census. Relationships are not given on the 1841, nor are birthplaces other than born in or not born in county.
