  • Notes 
    • George married Caroline while he was still a minor at Gillingham Parish Church on 10 Mar 1845. Caroline was the daughter of another victualler. No Kennett witnessed this wedding. George said he was a Clerk, living in Farnborough, Kent. In 1848 George was the Superintendent of a station, presumably Farnborough. Caroline and George lived in Passage West, County Cork, a town just outside of Cork, for two or three years but were back in England, living at 7 Edwin Place, Park Road, Peckham, in 1858. George was "lately a Traffic Manager on a Railway". Caroline died on 13 July 1859 as a result of falling down stairs after being taken ill suddenly. There was an inquest held on 14 July by the Coroner for Surrey.

      In 1867 George was living at Adisham, Kent and was the station master. He had a young wife, Elizabeth (nee Saddler) who born circa 1838. In 1881, on the 1881 British Census Index, George and his family were misrecorded under the surname Bennett. The family was living at Sole Street, Railway Station House, Cobham, Surrey. All of Caroline's children had left home by then. George's second wife, Elizabeth, must have died as George was by then married to Sarah Ann, who was born circa 1837 in Chartham, Kent. Maude Annie Peagram, his great niece (Edith Agnes's stepdaughter) aged 2 was staying with them.
