There's an interesting discrepancy between date of birth/bap and recorded ages.

George married Elizabeth Pool, daughter of Joseph Pool and Ann Bickford, on 4 Dec 1854 in St.George's, Wolverhampton. (Elizabeth Pool was born in 1835 in Wolverhampton, christened on 2 Mar 1835 in St.Peter's, Wolverhampton, died in 1904 in 206 Prestwood Road, Wednesfield and was buried on 20 Oct 1904 in Wednesfield.)
