George Williams’ father was according to his marriage details was also called George and he was a Waterman, I have been unable to find a record that shows them together. In 1861 George was lodging with a 27 year old Samuel Gittens a Cordwainer and his family, George following the same profession, all his life. I cannot find him at all in 1851 when he would have been only 7.

His eldest son also George William married in the same church as his father 30 years later. To Maggie Remington ( I have not found her with the same name in any census) Helen Mary Ann when married, Margaret in 1901, Ellen in 1911 (with Maggie crossed out). His Brother in law Albert  J Alldis was a Certified School teacher, a profession follow by two of George’s sisters Mary Ann Alberts’ wife and Edith Georges’ youngest sister.

I found a George who could be George Williams’ father in both 1851 and 1841 but cannot prove it.

I have looked closely at the entry it is Mark, however in the age column, someone has written her age again as 20. transfering it to the female section.

The only entry I can find in 1871, which comes close is again in Auckland, the children match up but the Mothers name is Mary, which does not fit..
I have searched the 1891 with no result?
