George Austen French b. 1828 RYE- looking for him on censuses after 1861

[LUV]

Hi All
So, I have George Austen French born 1828 Rye - father George French, mother SarahTiltman.
George shows up with his Mom Sarah and his sister Sarah on the 1841 in Rye - Dad George is a marnier/grocer but not on the 1841 census with them so maybe he was at sea?
Then on the 1851 census Mom Sarah is on her own in Rye - I think her daughter Sarah died and her husband George and son George Austen are now both Mariners and have Masters certificates on Ancestry - guess they were at sea?
Then on the 1861 census George Austen French, Dad George and Mom Sarah are enumerated on George Austen's boat.
That is it....
I cannot find mention of George Austen French after the 1861 census
I cannot find a marriage for him or a death for him either.
Using FreeBMD I believe his father George died in 1877 in Rye but this is just speculation.
Can anybody pick up the trail of this guy?
I would appreciate the hand up

There is a George Austin French death in 1867 Billericay.  Aged 36

Can't see an 1851/1861 entry in Essex in the Billericay RD

29th November 1865 Shipping and Mercantile Gazette
Mention of him at a Naval Court in Messina charged with drunkenness and misconduct ,George Austen French, mate of the brig Eleventh Lancashire.

Thank you CaroleW
It must be him it certainly makes the most sense.
I see it now at FreeBMD but when I used his name it did not come up the first try
Wonder why Billericay of all places...not near the sea

These tidbits are helpful...from my research the FRENCH family, covering over two centuries, have had a lot of issues with Drunk and Disorderly across many professions

My son is married to a BRANCH in Perth,Western Australia and in my searches so far have turned up George Austen French, famous in Australia, Fremantle and Perth.
Her mother is a FRENCH of WA but originally England.
