Notes from Kevin Ley, England, Oct, 2005
George's mother died in 1890 of Cancer of the womb in Kilmington, Somerset at the young age of 48. She is buried at St. Mary's Church in Kilmington, (no headstone). After Maria died, the family splintered in three directions; The older grown-up children (George included) either went to Bournemouth in Hampshire on the South coast of England or in the case of George's older brothers William Henry and Edwin, they moved up north to Derbyshire working on the railways. In William Henry's case he had just gout out of the army (he served in India) and was bought out of the army by the family.
