George Platts born about 1829 - name of wife?

Peter Report 24 Mar 2021 16:01

I am searching for any information on the wife of George Platts, I had thought her maiden name was Elizabeth Stagg who was born about 1832 and that she married George around 1846 but that seems to be just a dead end.
I believe that George had 6 children with his wife and they were called Harry, Tom, Arthur, Mary, Herbert and Lily.
Would appreciate any help on the details of his wife
