If you check back you will see George and Louisa were married 1894 June qt Middlesbrough. gro ref vol 9d page 784.

If you get that marriage cert it will confirm both their ages. Both fathers names and occupations.
Also the witnesses might be useful as often they are family. Sometimes married sisters etc.

a free site to search for early indexes for BMD's
so how about this marriage
Marriages Jun 1894 (>99%)

Bell George William Middlesbro' 9d 784
if you then open the page(784)that is highlighted you get other names of people registered on that date and included is Richardson Louisa .so it looks like the parents were married by 1901 census. I will have a look for them
