George was from Dean Head, about 3 miles West of Golcar and 6 miles from Berry Brow, so a likely friend or relative of George Stocks.
Born 1814; his parents may be Joseph and Rachael and has a siblings William (b.1810), Elizaveth (b.1812), Joseph (b.1816) and Benjamin (b.1818), all baptised at the Huddersfield, Queens Street Wesleyan Chapel.
Probably married before 1937
In 1851, George and Ann "Gleddile" (probably Gledhill), 36 & 39, were lodging with George and Rebecca Stocks at Dukinfield.
In 1861, George a stone mason, and Ann "Gleddill" (46 & 48) were at Dukinfield with a son John (aged 2).
This is not the George son of William, a weaver, who married Ann Shaw at Huddersfield in 1857 (wrong ages). It may be someone unralated, or possibly a cousin, son of Matthew.
