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 for a long time that there were only four children of George and Mary,
