There is a birth registered of a George King,  June q. 1855 .... vol 2a  page 384 Maidstone.

I will see if I can find him on a census.

This is the only one on the 1861 that I can see that was down as born in Maidstone although the age is out a little but thats not unusual on the census's.  ::)

RG9/500/166/5  living

21 George St. Maidstone, Kent.

John King h.m. 45  Sawyer Timber   b Shearness, Kent.
Esther wife b Maidstone
William 15
John 13
Isabella 12
George 9
Silas 7
Susannah 5
Alfred 1

All children born in Maidstone.

If you think this might be the family you can get the birth certificate to confirm or not  fathers name and occupation.

Find out who your 2 x gt grandfather married.

If it was in Ireland you need to post a request for a look up on the Ireland Board.

The marriage certificate  should give his fathers name and occupation.
