Although George was with Hannah in 1861 he was not with her at the time of the 1871 or 1881 censuses, with the 1871 census showing Hannah as a widow. Hence it is not clear if all the children were really his - even where shown as the father in a baptism entry. Clearly Richard can't have been his son if he really was dead by 1871.
