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

If the date you gave is correct 15/08/1878 then the only registered birth in London  is
George Henry Mercer Dec qtr 1878 Hackney, maiden name Dennis

I then looked at marriages Mercer to Dennis
I came up with 2
1) William Hunter (Hurter) Mercer
to
Eliza Dennis (Denniss)
1861 Shoreditch

2) John George Mercer
to
Mary Ann Carrell Dennis
1860 Shoreditch

What thinkest thou??

Thanks louisa maud
I thinkest  ;D that George  may also be telling porky pies about the name of his father (Charles) as well.
He could be one of the ones you linked to but think I may be at a dead end in terms of definitely being able to pin him down  :(
Will keep searching - need him in a census  with a soldier dad called Charles, if details true

I have tried everything but have know idea where he is in 1911. Found a father Charles mother Letitia and son George b 1876 in Ireland.
Or an unmarried Charles a soldier b India living in Hove in 1881. Nothing matches .
I'm stumped

Had thought that as the marriage was so near to the census date thy might well have been living in the same dwelling, but no she is at home with her parents, foiled again, back to the drawing board

I am still stuck on George Henry Mercer born 1878 Hackney Dec qtr, mother's maiden name Dennis/Denniss
he married in 1902 Bethnal Green to Elizabeth Rixon, no images online, I do wonder as you have suggested  the truth and the whole truth might not be here at all
