I still can't see how it can be an N - it's not at all like the N in Northumberland and is more like the Ss and Ps on other parts of the page. I just can't find anything that looks remotely like it.

I even did a search on Halls, born Northumberland who were withing 10 years of George in age on the 1851 just to see if any siblings were showing but I didn't find anything positive  :-\

Could it be Pellaw?

Not sure about Pellaw - last three letters look like urn to me - can't see a w myself.
Challenging it certainly is!

Well thats a possibility - if the top of the w & t are missing. There is a George Hall bap in 1792 at Bywell St Peter which is the parish for Newton Hall which nearly fits.
So many thanks - I'll try again with their children Jane (b circa 1820) and Thomas (b circa 1822) - George & Elizabeth might had other children but only these two are in evidence in the 1841 Census.
