Hi Sophiecat and welcome to RootsChat  :) (and Hi Isobel :D)

The free 1911 census index suggests that he was still married to Alice Mary in 1911. Children Alice Maud age 10, William Henry age 9 and George age 7.

George's Army papers show exact birth dates for the children:
Alice Maud 3/9/00
Wm Henry 29/12/01
George 25/9/03

He's still married to Alice in 1914.

Here are some search tips, Isobel  :)

I can't see a second marriage for George Henry either - makes you wonder whether he actually ever divorced his fist wife...

The 1911 census is here http://www.1911census.co.uk/ (It's pay to view)
