Hi,

Have you found George on any census records?

Maybe but if it was him he was not living at home: He was a border:

Oh, I see why maybe a name for the mother now.

There is a burial of an Ashley Crossley aged 53 years Jan 1900..Death 1st Jan... Burial 4th Jan.City Cem .Belfast...her address is given as 273 Matilda St.
Checking the St.on the 1901 census shows a George Crossley 18 boarding with the Johnstons at no.29 and at no.19 John and Martha Jane Crosley and family plus brother Robert and family ...worthwhile looking also at no.1 transcribed Cossey at a William and family...

You can search for and view images of NI BMDs on this site:

https://geni.nidirect.gov.uk/search/birth

It is free to search and view index details but you have to pay to view images. The birth index gives MMN. This is the entry for the Jan 1882 Crossley male birth:

U/1882/50/1007/35/372 Crossley 14th January 1882 Male Clarke

It isn't very expensive to view the details but you can't copy or download the images.
