Sadly Barry it's proving difficult to even find his parents before 1871. Baptisms not showing either, unless it all happened elsewhere & he remembers Whitehaven as his first place of being. His Father may well have had another trade before 1861 which doesn't help.
Likewise we don't know how long George jnr was a mariner.

I've even found the marriage of Susannahs Parents ,John & his Father were lightermen, hers a tailor, A search of Parish regs may find the mariage of Georges' Parents.

Found in 1861 a George Freeman, Tailor but he was from Lincoln.Similarly in 1851 a George 23..a tailor journeyman but from I[ston ,Staff'd. So no working for the inlaws
.
Perhaps the early years for George were spent at sea, which means searching shipping logs.Not too easy in the early years.
