I do know he was a miner, married Precilla----- had one son in England then came over to Essex New York, sometime in the later '60 or 70's. One Child was named William, the Bessie, Lucy, I think John and Evelyn. Divorced and moved to Georgia, because of Sulfa mines to work in, and lived in Villa Rica, sometime in the 90's Married to Georgia Sailors Villa Rica Georgia,

My George relatives immigrated in the second half of the 1800's from
Cornwall, England. I don't think our lines are even related. Good
luck. It is so hard to search on a last name that is also a given
name, and I have several of these types of names which I am reseaching.

In our district we have Georges from Cornwall who had been tin miners.
I have their village noted somewhere. They came here to New Zealand mid-
19th century.

David George.

Many of the Cornish miners who came to the goldfields had Welsh sounding
names
[including George]. I have always wondered if the Cornish mining fraternity
had a lot of Welsh migrants at one time. -D.
