On the marriage cert for George to Ann ( on FMP) the occupation for John is Labourer, not that it helps much.

Rambling Report 1 Apr 2018 19:38

As George was a widower on the marriage cert I might suggest he was less than honest about his age when marrying Ann? which would tie in with the 1861 census being closer to his real age?
