Narrative

George was the eldest child of William Bentley and Mary Gretwich, who got married after George was born and then had 10 more children. George was probably told he was born in Stafford, like all his siblings were, hence his census entries.
1841 George 35 is living with his mother, with his wife and their 4 children.
1851-1871 George and his family are living near his mother and some of George's siblings. George and his wife stayed at the same address until his death in 1874 and her death in 1888.
What happened to ALL of his siblings?
