Another stray, anybody who can spot him please?

I have Joseph 1851 & 71, but can't spot him 1861 (or his wife either, but he is widowed in 1871 and not sure when she died). I have son George 1861, he isn't with him.

It's definitely the same man as he is a butcher in both cases:

That death looks very promising Reggie, thanks. If all else fails might treat myself to the cert (haven't bought one for a while!).
