Original post deleted due to my entering wrong info, Sorry to Vods and Kathleen.

I have him on the 1901 living with his parents and siblings in Durham, we have family info that he married Blanche Carrington (who was born about1893 Essex)
George served with the 6th Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers (1914-1918)and died during the 2nd world war.
I just can't find them.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Jean

Thanks for your time Glitter Baby,
Maybe they didn't get married, and Blanche just took his name

Thanks again

Only marriage found is that of a Blanche D Carrington to George W Evans in 1931,Q3.

The Blanche D coincide's probably with "Glitter's finding of Blanche Dora Carrington born 1892.
