I have now found George.
In 1841 he is at the New Inn, Hentland, Herefordshire aged 20 and described as a Tailor and not born in the County.
In 1851 Census he is at Peterstow, near Ross on Wye. Married to Eliza b 1816 Hentland, Herefordshire. One son - John aged 1 born Peterstow. Also Sarah Thomas aged 5 described as Wife's daughter.
This is the marriage:
Marriages Dec 1849
Jordan George Ross 26 382
Thomas Eliza Ross 26 382

Eliza Thomas baptised 27 July 1816 at Hentland. Parents John Thomas and Ann.

Also found him in 1861 and 1871 Census.
Here is 1881 Census entry which has birthplace incorrect:

1891 Census shows Eliza as a Widow.

This would appear to be registration of death of George:
Deaths Jun 1882
Jordan George 65 Ross 6a 283

and this is death of Eliza:
Deaths Mar 1893
Jordan Eliza 75 Ross 6a 324
