A tree on Ancestry has that same 1901 census for him but how can he be a grandson to Mary Percival, wife of Thomas?

EDIT: Ok that makes sense, rootgatherer.

If the 1939 register is the correct George, his birth year on the 1901 census would be 1893.

I guess that clinches it, Shirley.
So George Johnston (not Johnson) born 1893 is the son of George Johnston & Annie Elizabeth Huddart.

Edit: Looks like Mary Elizabeth possibly died in childbirth when George was born. Her death and his birth are in same quarter.

There are several possible new marriages for George Johnston senior from 1894. but you would need to know his age and possible birth area to try and find the right
George
