Here’s Edmund Street. It’s only a theory but....... The building marked “A” is the Buffalo Inn at No. 1 Clay Street. Working on the assumption that the odd numbers run along the south side of the streets, I reckon that 49 could be where I’ve marked it.

A quick rummage through Ancestry and in 1901 George turns up living with his parents and sister in West Hartlepool. He is employed as a barman in a pub. Looking at his family tree, he has, apparently, a living son. Because the person is still living, their details are concealed. There is nothing on his wife’s info that indicates that she re-married [Having married George in 1912].
