That looks likely to be his death as he was taken to Grantham hospital.

Glenn,

If George were named as the father, his occupation would be on your friend's birth certificate.

Was George actually named on your friend's birth certificate?

First child born 12 years after 1933 and right before the mother remarried. I'm a bit skeptical.
