A tree on Ancestry has that same 1901 census for him but how can he be a grandson to Mary Percival, wife of Thomas?

EDIT: Ok that makes sense, rootgatherer.

Maybe Mary was his mothers mum

Yes, I agree, Shirley.

But then there's this one in 1901 with parents George & Annie:


George Johnston

George Johnston
Age:
9
Estimated birth year:
abt 1892
Relation to Head:
Son

George Johnston 32
Annie Johnston 31
Mary Katrine Johnston 11
David Johnston 10
George Johnston 9
Thomas Johnston 7
Jane Johnston 6
Annie Johnston 4
Edward Johnston 1

If the 1939 register is the correct George, his birth year on the 1901 census would be 1893.

So Mary is Annie's mum

Looks like his mum died in 1893 and he is living with grandma in 1901

I guess that clinches it, Shirley.
So George Johnston (not Johnson) born 1893 is the son of George Johnston & Annie Elizabeth Huddart.

Edit: Looks like Mary Elizabeth possibly died in childbirth when George was born. Her death and his birth are in same quarter.

There are several possible new marriages for George Johnston senior from 1894. but you would need to know his age and possible birth area to try and find the right
George

Sorry for the delay in answering
abbey Holm is the right area Whitehaven is on the far coast of Cumbria...thank you everyone

This looks a possible for the 1891 census and there are other children
