James must have died 1901/1911 as his wife is widowed on the 1911 census............looking at the original she names Samuel as being in the household and then crosses him out.........the enumerator saying he is accounted for somewhere else! However am unable to find a Samuel born Norfolk at the right age.

He obviously likes to change his age as it seems Stuart has found him!!

Thanks kath and stuart, its a shame i cant track samuel any farther as this would help clarify if he ended up in lincolnshire. I will run the siblings names past my relatives though and see if any ring a bell!

Thanks ann, kath and stuart! This all looks quite possible now! George is my uncles middle name too and i was told its a family name so that ties in too
