The spelling is unimportant in census records. Enumerators would spell a name the way they thought it sounded. My Great Grandfather Daniel Lambie was recorded as Daniel Lamby.
Also, many Lambie families started as Lammie and later changed the spelling.
The combination of George and Ann is rare, it would help if you had some idea of dates to work with.
