Notes:
1861 English Census, living, aged 4, at Ashley House, Holy Cross Parish, Shrewsbury with parents, 6 siblings and 3 servants. Scholar.
1871 English Census (incorrectly indexed as Wethers on ancestry) living aged 14, at ????, Holy Cross, Shrewsbury with mother, 2 siblings and 2 domestic servants. Scholar.
1881 Census; living aged 24, at Lingdale, 9 Shrewsbury Road, Oxton, Birkenhead with sister Mary Elizabeth, brother in law and 2 servants. Occupation; Merchants Clerk (Being primed to take over childless brother in laws business??!).
Presumably he is the George Francis Withers b~1857 who died Q3 1888 in Birkenhead.
1891 Census; Can't find. There is a George F Taylor 32, born in Shrewsbury. Could have changed surname to be same as brother-in-law to inherit, but rather fanciful, and anyway is a Malt Turner, not a ship anything !!
