Still trying to figure them out! I've found a National Probate Calendar entry which fits with the burial I have down for him:

1860
KENYON George Effects under £300.
6 October. The Will with a Codicil of George Kenyon late of Collier's Row near Accrington in the County of Lancaster Bleacher deceased who died 3 August 1860 at Collier's Row aforesaid was proved at the Principal Registry by the oaths of Robert Kenyon of Collier's Row aforesaid Engine Stoker the Son and William Kenyon of Green Haworth near Accrington aforesaid schoolmaster the Nephew the Executors.

My George and son Robert are labourers at print works on the censuses but could have specialised in bleaching and engine stoking, I suppose? I need to find this nephew William and see whether his uncle George fits with my George! Also Collier's Row is not the address on the 1861 census for my family - they are at Haslingden Road, but Googling for Colliers Row Accrington, it seems to have been one of those blocks of houses within a street, so it could be the same family. Collier's Row is the address on the burial that I have as a possible for George's widow Ann. (Colliers Row is mentioned in the description of enumeration district for that 1861 census entry).
