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.

George stated that he resided in Valentyne, Ontario, Canada; that he was a laborer; and that his parents names were Thomas Whitbread and Francis Grove. Mabel stated that she was 18; that she was a laborer; and that her parents names were Joseph Booker and Helen Littlefield.

George and Mabel Whitbread had two children, Harold Whitbread, and Rose May Whitbread (1917-1997)
