George was born in 1815 at Easton, Hampshire to parents James and Sarah. He was baptised on 18 June 1815 at Easton. He was converted through early PM missionaries visiting Hampshire.

Ministry

Much of his early ministry was spent in breaking up fallow ground, and pushing the conquests of the cross into the regions beyond.

On one of his stations George says; ‘I had no home and often during the winter no bed. I thought of the blessed master who had not where to lay his head.’ Most of his preaching was in the open-air.

He saw an increase of 550 on his stations during his active ministry.

Family

George married Sarah Ann Ford (1832-1911) in the summer of 1851 at Newbury, Berkshire.

George died on 2 January 1893, age 77, at Newbury, Berkshire.
