In the 1911 Census he was living in his parents’ house at 44, North Terrace, Bedlington with his brothers Arthur, William Harold and sister Margery. George was working in the coal mines aged 15 at this time. North Terrace was one of the collier rows adjacent to Doctor Pit. There is no evidence to show he was married.
