1881 census RG11 2117 folio 98
Wyke Farm Cottages Sherborne  Dorset 
George Coombs  28 Winsome, Somerset,  Boarder Widower Farm Labourer Engine Driver

If the county isn't consistent the 'Winsome' part is. Pre 1881 the nearest I can see is a George born Wincanton?
What details does George give about his father on his second marriage?

Regards

Valda
