Notes for George Welch Aynsley (Born WELCH)
Might this be his birth index?
First name(s) GEORGE WILLIAM A
Last name AYNSLEY
Birth year 1874
Birth quarter 3
District Bellingham
County Northumberland
Country England
Volume 10B
Page 317
Record set England & Wales Births 1837-2006
But the 1891 census information makes this record unlikely to be his. And Monkseaton, his birth location in the censuses, was never a parish within Bellingham district.

Eventually he was found in the 1881 census as George Welsh, living with his grandmother at Fala Monkseaton, Monkseaton, Tynemouth, Northumberland (where was his mother?):

THe PDF of his registration was ordered and indeed showed that his father was unknown, his mother was Ann Welch, his birth date was 2 Jan 1874 and at Monkseaton which was his mother’s address and where she was the occupier of her house. The birth was registered on the 2nd Feb 1874.
_______________________
The consequence of the 1881 census and the 1874 birth registration must be that George Welch’s father is not known. His mother then married William Aynsley and George then took that as his surname, though at marriage both ensured that his birth surname was included and his father was given the name of his stepfather.
_______________________
Armed with his father's name from his, George's, marriage, this looks very much like him in the 1891 census at Whitley Park Cottage, East Parade, Whitley, Tynemouth, Northumberland:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
William Aynsley Head Married Male 41 1850 Gardner Matfen, Northumberland
Ann Aynsley Wife Married Female 49 1842 - Monkseaton, Northumberland

From the above his mother's maiden name can be deduced from his father's mother-in-law's surname of Welch, not the Welsh that was given as his second name on both of his marriage registration index and his church Marriage record as transcribed by Family Search. It is worth noting that no other records have been found where this second name of probably 'Welch' was used.
My guess is that the nephew and neice Thomas Martin and Mary Welch were something to do with the brother of George’s mother Ann. In the 1871 census the brother Thomas and his wife Mary were living with Thomas’s mother Ann, the mother of Thomas and Ann the mother of George and also resident with George. But Thomas and Mary have not yet been found, though they will be looked for, to complete the picture; they may have died of course.
