Thanks so much will have a look at them. :-)

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
Name: George Mills>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> illegitimate
Record Type: Birth
Estimated Birth Date: 22 Jul 1874
Mother's Name: Ellen Mills
Parish or Poor Law Union: St Pancras
Borough: Camden
Register Type: Parish Registers

He was illegitimate then! I just found the family on the 1881 census as a mixture of Masons and Mills. Emma Mason is spouse to Henry. I wonder if Ellen was a sister?

this would tie with that baptism
Births Sep 1874
Mills George Pancras 1b 119

so looks like the Mason's took him in probably because Ellen couldnt look after him .

It doesnt help that he was a bit older than first thought when trying to find him

More trouble! theres another Mills child in with the Masons on the 1881 census.
Edward Mills age 14.
