There is a death 1867 Newington
George Harris, 67 yrs

Have you checked that?

The births of the younger children on 1861 census, look to have mother’s name Osborn.
Thanks all for that.

There were two deaths
March 1867 Newington 1d 140
Harris, Susannah   
age 45   

March 1867 Newington 1d 148
Harris, George
age 64

Burial, 8 Feb 1867, Victoria Park
Susannah Harris
age 45
George St Trinity Newington

So this could explain why the children went into the Workhouse. Both Parents dying.

One here to investigate - baptism 9 Feb 1806 Hursley Hampshire - father William mother Sarah.
Thanks Milliepede.
That's cool.

So According to George's Marriage cert to Susanna his father was William.
This really looks like a very strong possibility :)
