1846/1847, for some reason Lancashire had it at 1847

Is that the same George?

Yes, that would be my family for sure. All the information I have is John and Mary Owen, had a son named Henry born 1813, who married Sarah, born 1821. Together they had two daughters and two sons. Mary Ann b.1843, Mary b.1848, John b.1844, and George b.1847.

1851 only shows Mary Ann born abt 1841, John and George.

GRO shows
John b 1843 mmn Norcott
George b 1846 mmn Norcott

There is a Mary Norcott born 1841
I can’t see Mary b 1848  :-\

I mean the births. If you have George born 1847 he is likely to not be the one in the census with parents Henry and Sarah.
Please would you give the birth reference you have found.

UK census records from 1861 show John as age 17 and George as 14.

You can’t really go off census details. You need the birth records and you have him 1847 from Lancashire?

Marriage

January 24th 1842
Walton on the Hill
Henry Owen, Labourer of Parliament Street Father John, a Farmer
Sarah Norcott of Parliament Street Father John, a labourer
