Both 'out of area' compared with 1881 census

Shirley

Deleted my post to avoid confusion :-) :-)

Thanks Erica, not sure that's going to be him as the family dont move away from that area at that time.

I contacted the City of Stoke on Trent council who have been brilliant in locating unmarked graves for me but they are even struggling with this one.

May be he just walked into the sea :)

As Ann died in 1881, perhaps Shirley was correct in posting that census (later deleted) with wife Preecilla/Priscilla.
Occupation, YOB, and POB all match:

Caroline's marriage cert would tell you if George was still alive in 1902 or not.

Caroline's children ??

Walker Richard E Hill Stoke T. 6b 232

Births Jun 1921 (>99%)
Walker William H Hill Stoke T. 6b 565



EDIT:

No, not Richard.
He's with his parents Thomas and Emma (nee Hill) in 1939.


Can't be sure about William H. You'd need his birth cert to know definitely.
