"The George William Mercer (born 8 May 1873) to Charles James and Maria is listed in 1939 in Shoreditch with Emily (born 1900) and Albert born 1918, so I'm not sure now if he is the same man "

Don't worry if you have sent us down the wrong route, just let us know as much as you can, as I said above, I am stumped, what we do need is a death date if possible

You list the eldest child as Alfred - is he the Alfred Mercer mmn Atkins whose birth was registered in Carlisle, Jun qtr 1912?  Is there a known connection with Carlisle?  I wonder if this could be a useful clue (the other children seem to have been born 1916 onwards in Shoreditch).

Hello, yes, it is the Alfred Mercer registered in Carlisle in 1912 (born 9th April) mmn Atkins, and then all the other children registered in Shoreditch.
The is a yet no known connection to Carlisle, and it did seem odd that one child was registered there

There is is an Ethel Mercer mmn Aitkens registered in Carlisle in 1913. Could she be another child?
