__________________

See his mother’s Notes for his entries in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses.  In 1901 he was no longer with his parents.

There were 35 marriages of George Whitehouse from 1891 to 1901 in Staffs, far too many to analyse.

There were no George Whitehouse, born in 1865 ±2, deaths in Staffs from 1891 to 1901.

Let’s try him in the 1901 census, born in Cheslyn Hay, Staffs.  Not identifiable in the 10 Georges born in Staffs in 1865±2.

They further say that he married Eva (Elizabeth) Bishton.

Can they be found in 1901?

In 1901 there was a miner of that names with a wife Eva and son Eric but George was said to be 32 and born in 1869, 4 years older than actual but in Cheslyn Hay.

In 1911 there was the same family but George had lost 2 years and was said to be born in 1867 and still born in Cheslyn Hay.

I think George was trying to pretend he was older than Eva, so he added a couple of years to his age.  And I think that this was him and Eva was his wife.

The ancestry tree adds that George Eric married, had four children but does not say when he died.  To be followed up later.
