Help with Unknown George [closed]

Question

I am struggling with this profile.

I have found and sourced multiple children.

There is a wife Eliza George.

I have not found any reference to him other than census saying Eliza is a widow. So is she really, or is that a convenience, or to protect the kids?

Should I just go ahead and make unknown George into Eliza George or not. Don’t like the idea of creating another Unknown.

Answer 1

Just looked at GRO Services (something you would learn on the Orphan Trail) for Ella Dorothy.  It says her mother's maiden name is CRESSWELL.

Therefore you can look at FreeBMD for a GEORGE marrying a CRESSWELL around about the time of Ella's birth:

Edit: Edward GEORGE mar Eliza CRESSWELL:
England & Wales marriage registration: Pershore [district], Volume 6c, Page 452A, June quarter 1887

Thanks Ros, fancy forgetting GRO and FreeBMD! What a duffer I am.
