In 1861 George age 72 is a lodger with a family ang son George age 30 is married to a Caroline age 24 b Shs Green Wiltshire and have a child Julia A Harry age 1 b Golligham Dorset. They are living in Arthuret Cumberland.
There is a death for a George Harry Quart Jan feb mar 1869 b Malmsbury which i think is the father as he is not on 1871 census
Sorry cant find Georges wife if you want any more info im willing to look for you

Thanks for your response to date. sadly I think i am never going to find out the mothers name which is what I am really after. I have all the census information and deaths and some marriages but no birth as they were all before registration- and that is what will give me the mother.
It appears that it may be that though they give their POB as Corstan/Malmsbury wiltshire it may in fact have been Gloustershire at the time- no luck with records there either.
As well theycould have been born in Wales?
again thanks

Malmesbury Parish Registers & BTs.
Have found this marriage which could be your George.
27 Nov 1827. George Harry. Abode. Corston. Anne Maria Bromsgrove. Abode Corston.
The Thomas Bromsgrove lodger on the 1851 census is possibly Anne's father.

Thanks everyone for your help- I have all the census records and can locate everyone post 1841. it looks like it could be that George Harry married twice -to Elizabeth Reynolds and to Anne Broomsgrove- both of these names have come up before but by the time we get to census records he is widowed-thanks so much anyway sharsc
