NOTES: All the children were born in India.  We are unaware at this time if there are any descendants of George and Mary's.  George, his wife, and youngest daughter appear on the 1901 census living in Willesden Green, north London.  George and his brothers, Edward and Septimus, were  barristers. Morrice Man in his diaries recalls his uncle George as follows. Mary was the daughter of General Bradford, Indian Army. It was believed that there were only four children of George and Mary, however in July 2003 Ed Man came across the following:
