This is interesting. My James Hill George had a brother John James George who went to England in 1874 and I have found cousins there. I am going to send your information to Richard Dixon one of them. Our grgrgrandfather's (the two mentioned above) link us.

I think this bares further scrutiny as there may be a connection yet.

Do you know what part of Wales your Georges might have come from? I am going to do some detective work to see if that name (Wesley Calvin George) comes up or has come up in any of my research.

I look forward to talking with you again. New Zealand is a place I have always wanted to go. Maybe some day. Until them I am here in Maricopa, Arizona USA.

P.S. I just found a Wesley Calvin George b. 1840 d. 1922 and married to a Rebecca Poteet, on Familysearch.org. Is he the correct one?

My Georges came from Wales in 1879 so no connection, sorry. Good luck in
your search.

George Richard George arrived here from Liverpool in 1879. Family tradition
says he was Welsh... my genealogy trails through central England and
possibly originates in Wales.
I read that the origin of the George name is Flemish. This came about
through Flemish weavers migrating to Wales. Of course it is not likely that
all people named George originated the same way.
