Thanks Reggie

"According to 1901 census.........he was born in Canterbury.....and is merely a boarder with the family."

I know that Elizabeth Kilby (Head in 1901) , was nee Orton & that her mum was Ann Orton (nee Steele) - so it seemed too much of a coincidence that there was no relationship between George Steele & Elizabeth Kilby -

However, thank you for letting me know that he is listed as a boarder. (I can now look into any possible Kent connection, just in case).

I've taken another look at 1901......George is listed as single.

This is probably his marriage............

Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

And his birth.......
