  • Notes 
    • George Hilton Kennett first married Eleanor Lawrence at the Parish Church of St. Mary Magdelene in the City of London on 16 October 1866. this wedding was four days after his sister, Charlotte's, wedding. Eleanor's father was an umbrella manufacturer. George was living at 15 Little Knight Rider Street at the time and working as a clerk. John Kennett witnessed the wedding. Eleanor must have died within two or three years of the marriage. In 1867 the family were living at 25 Foley Street, Marylebone, London.

      In 1872 on a daughter's birth certificate, George was married to Elizabeth Margaret Kerr, not to Eleanor. The family were living at 1 Roberts Place, Newington. George was a commercial clerk. Elizabeth was born at Poole, Dorset.

      In 1881 the couple were living at Thatched Cottage, Westbury on Trym, Gloucester. Elizabeth was 29 years old. George was working as a dock labourer according to the census but I understand that he could still have actually been a clerk checking goods, et cetera.

      In 1891 Elizabeth, recorded as Margaret on the census, was a widow and working as a milliner and dressmaker.
