No it says he is a bachelor.

Any middle name and the occupation of his father and also the witnesses names might help

On the 1881 census George and his wife have his brother living with them who is also a Florist.

Looks like he had children with his first wife although they only initials to you may be able to find their births

Yes I did notice that which is a conincidence. I believe George's middle name was Thomas. I do have a birth cert for him born 1855 with his father listed at Thomas and mother Mary Byott, and on censuses I have found it does look that this is the correct family as there is also a brother Thomas listed. But his marriage cert to Lilian his father is listed at George.
