There person deserves some more research.
In the census of 1845 Asminderød, there is a George (with no surname) listed
as being born in Helsingør:

Frederiksborg, Lynge-Kronborg, Asminderød, Endrup, , et Huus, 66, FT-1845

Andr. Kroyer, 51, Gift, , Pensionist, Kjøbenhavn
Sophie Jensen, 50, Gift, , hans Kone, Asø??
Janette, 11, Ugift, , Plejebarn, Helsingør
Georg, 6, Ugift, , Plejebarn, Helsingør

Plejebarn means foster child. If the church books of Helsingør do not have
this George (born in 1839) I would advise you to look in the church book of
Asminderød and see if he was confirmed there. That would be around 1853. The
confirmation records might give some more information. The name George was
not at all common in Denmark at that time, but a rather big number of Brits
(especially Scotsmen) settled in Helsingør in the 18th century, that's why
you often see that name in and around Helsingør.
