nothing evident for children's names, Catherine being born c.1862 London, Ernestine b. c.1859 Southampton, though noting no Ernestine in BDM for that period, so possible middle name. One wonders whether George later "married" the housekeeper noting her place of birth. No evident marriage bw George Anderson and Mary Tailor from 1865 to 1881+

This would confirm that Mary Anderson in 1881 census is the same as Mary Ann Taylor in this 1861 census, daughters Adelaide match in 1871, and Ernestina in 1881. Noting unmarried status of MAT in 1861,

Institution of Civil Engineers
Cannot see in these records, though the son Robert Bruce Anderson is there (1889) with mention of his education, qualifications, training and working for his father. 07201-07400 (1889 Dec - 1890 Mar)

Robert Bruce Anderson
Adding to above note

married Kate Dyson and eldest child would appear to be Janet Hunter Anderson, indicating that George probably married Janet Hunter if we follow Scottish naming patterns.
