If you pay to view that Leicester household entry, it should show how many living children George had - if it was filled in, and if filled in correctly. Did you ever get your aunt's birth certificate to confirm that George and Mabel were her parents?

There is a male J G, married, age 51, in Leicester, who could possibly be John Goodacre. I am having no luck with the people you are actually looking for though!

Oooh. Thanks.
That kind of suggests they may have split the children up, with Uncle Len staying with his Dad and Auntie going with her aunt (her mother's sister). No, I didn't get the certificate. I've only just come back to this. Auntie was the only person on my Dad's side that I met until 1994 and I was a teenager before I discovered that she was not actually my Dad's sister, but ahd come into the family because her aunt had married my Grandad!

However, it does throw up a problem in that this George does not appear to have conveniently died on the timescale I was expecting, but to have gone off and married someone else and survived until 1949! At least according to Ancestry.

Marjorie Morris has been located in the 1921 Census at 27 Beatrice Road, Leicester with her Aunt Mary Ann Goodacre and her husband John.
She is recorded as 'Niece' and that her mother is dead. The indexing is so bad that she comes up as Maryann and Goodacre has been indexed as Goodman.

I still think that household is looking good, but the 4 trees on Ancestry that mention George Arthur Morris only reference the marriage to Ethel Louise Brown in 1930.
I'm now messaging a tree holder who I realise I haven't seen for 52 years! Will report back.

Apparently George didn't want to bring up a girl, so he kept his son and let his daughter go to his sister in law.
Having said that though, he was living with his mother. Perhaps she didn't feel she could cope with two children.
