You can do a search with occ on the 1901 official site, but I can't see any George Tylers who are anywhere near old enough who have Iron* as an occupation.

I don't think so as occupation isn't indexed on Ancestry. Don't know about FMP.

I presume you haven't found him as George Tyler? I tried looking for males born Bishopsgate but that brought up nothing likely.

He may have just said born London of course, or another placename. It's maddening, isn't it!

You can search by initials if you want to, but people in workhouses weren't shown by initials, only people in prisons and asylums as far as I know.

Of course if he was in a workhouse, the workhouse manager would provide his details so the birthplace, age, occupation etc might be wrong. But I can't find any likely George Tyler so he may have had a very badly mangled name - or be hiding!

I do have several men in my and my husband's trees who just don't appear on censuses.

Was he literate? Have you looked for Taylors, in case someone misheard him?
