If this is your George he was born after the 1861 census was taken
I posted those US records for others who are trying to help. As you see wivenhoe was asking and it helps if we can see other related records.
Good finds Radcliffe.I mentioned the marriage in reply #6 and a possible birth for George with mmn Howard but as spellings vary so much it is difficult.I can’t see them as yet in 1861 and had thought they had perhaps already emigrated.However, the birth of Ann in 1864 changes that.
