George Henry Mason (bm's gf)
Name - "official" name and what they were known as
George Henry Mason Date and place of birth Southwark, 10 November 1883 Names of parents Thomas Henry Mason & Emma Elizabeth Wall Details of each of his or her marriages - if any - and any divorces Lillian Grace Eleanor Searle Occupation(s) - if any Boot porter Bioscope operator Worker in Royal Arsenal, Woolwich Cinema manager Stocking repairer Military service - if any Yes Addresses where they lived - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on, if applicable. 1891 88 Castle St Battersea with parents, two younger brothers, Grandmother Wall and "Great Granny Lanning" 1893 39 Verney St (school admission reg) 1901 20 Shield Street, Peckham with parents, two brothers and sister 1911 24 Colegrove Road Peckham with parents, brother and sister Date, place and cause of death 1972 Dartford RD Date and place of burial / cremation. Bexleyheath Cemetery Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Memorial inscription - if any (Best mate should have the later details - have visited his grave with her) We have most of George's life mapped out, including where he lived up to the mid 1930s. His service record does not survive. One story he insisted on was that he went to Australia, didn't like it, and returned. Most of his tales have a hint of truth in them, but we cannot substantiate this. As his eldest daughter was born March qtr 1913, we assume that it must have happened before this, if it happened at all, as the girls never added to the story - as they must have done if it had affected them.
