- There were several deaths registered in Gateshead RD of Georges of about the right age after 1871 (the last census in which he is found). Only one before 1881, when the census showed his wife as a widow:
GRO ref: Brown, George q3 1871 aged 54 Gateshead RD 10a 554 (implies born 1816-7)
Despite the small age discrepancy I believe it was this George, especially as a probate calendar entry agrees (actual date and place from this)
