Linda I have not found Ernest George on the census but this family might interest you. I thought maybe Ernest's mother may have been unmarried when he was born so I looked for Buller marriages in Walsall. This Mary Bullers married Charles Jones.

Another possible that I thought I'd pass on (booker/buller not a huge leap if misheard maybe) you'll be able to tell more from the family I guess, there aren't that many Ernests born in Walsall in 1884 coming up. This family appear to live with the elder brother and his wife. Both John Junior and Ernest are brewers and John Senior is a Cart Gear Maker (above and between cart and gear it says 'wheelw' Name: Ernest Booker Age: 17 Estimated birth year: abt 1884 Relation: Brother Father's name: John Gender: Male Where born: Walsall, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Walsall Ecclesiastical parish: St Michael County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street address: 78 queen st.

Thank you Georgina. I got a batch of certs today and they have completely baffled me!. more brick walls. I'm going to order Ernest Thomas and Ernest George's birth certs tomorrow see if they throw up any more clues. I really want to go to bed but have another mystery that wont let me sleep :(

Thank Liz, Ernest Snr on Ernest jnr marriage cert is a carter! Queen St is a favourite haunt of my family! both my parents lived there for a while.... spooky!

Linda if the 1891 census above are related to your family, then the Joseph Bullows is living with his son in 1901...
