Thanks  The birth dates have thrown me a bit as they don't tie up. 
George Wesley born 1st March 1890 died in 1975 in Cambridge and the other birth record states clearly 3rd Jan 1891  Could there have been 2 George's?

Which record says 3rd Jan?  (3/1 as opposed to 1/3 for 1 March?). 1 March looks likely to be the correct birthdate given that that birth was registered in the 2nd quarter of 1891.

A trip to New York on 12 Feb 1961, transcription shows his birthdate as 3rd Jan 1891.  Original is 1 111 1891  I can see that the transcription is the American way of writing dates, so it's inverted
Thanks  Still quite odd about the year of birth though

The year of birth is just one year out on the death registration - not unusual for an informant of a death to make an error like that.

Thanks avm228 and sgf28 for your help. I'm hoping to find his marriage and, if any, children
