Do you have a certificate with his name on it, or have you just got his name from censuses? Because it could be that George was his middle name or a nickname if you only have him from censuses. Kate.

It wasn't compulsory to register births until the 1870s so there's a posssibility that he wasn't registered. Heather

there is a death for a George Davenport in Wandsworth 1925 aged 72 which means born C 1853 I think that could be the right district December quarter 1D 686

On one of the census records George has a middle initial H. Could this be the right birth record? Davenport, George Henry Dec Qtr 1854 Lambeth Vol 1d, pg 325 Rose
