Have you checked the GRO indexes for children with mother Lilley and checked 1911 census for number of children born to the marriage?

Yes, because his name was Albert! George was just his regnal name (confusingly, he had a younger brother called George)

There  is a Royal Artillery Attestation 1883 to 1942 for Thomas Gilbert Thexton.  Mentions wife Lily and three children plus one who has me scratching my head as the surname is Holt.

Free bmd suggest they had a total of six children two of whom may have been twins.
