Two of George's brothers Ernest (born 1886, sailed to Canada in 1897), and Samuel (born 1888, sailed on the same ship, Tunisian, with George), came to Canada with Barnardo Homes. They both settled in Uxbridge, Ontario. His other siblings, Thomas William, born 1876; Anthony Walter Edwin, born 1878; Isaac, born 1881; Henry 1883; and his sister, Rose.
