Too many George Emmersons to be sure which death was his, but the most likely would appear to be
GRO ref: Emmerson, George q4 1861 Chester le S. RD 10a 191
(most likely because not found him in later censuses and the Reg District covers Pelton where George was at the time of the 1861 census)

Notes - (Research):Finding this family in the 1851 census with George's birthplace given as Tanfield, I am reasonably confident that I am right and the George Emmerson whose wife and children I was guessing to belong to this one, do. (Emmerson was quite a common Tanfield name, though, so still doesn't rule out a coincidence)
