Hi and welcome to Rootschat
George was the illegitimate son of Drusilla Jones. It wasn't unheard of for illegitimate children to make up a fathers name when they married so they appeared "respectable"
Per IGI at www.familysearch.org
GEORGE JONES Christening: 20 JUN 1858 St Andrew, Worcester Mother: DRUSILLA JONES
Drusilla was the daughter of James & Lucy Jones
DRUSILLA JONES Christening: 19 JUL 1837 All Saints, Worcester Father: JAMES JONES Mother: LUCY
In 1861 - 3yr old George is living with grandmother Lucy
Lucy Jones 47 widow b Stourport

Many thanks CaroleW, this info will be a great help.
I had viewed the 1861 census info but did not make the connection.
