Biography

George Albert Lax was born on 16th August 1887 at Queensland, Australia. He was the third son of William Lax and Maria Addison.^[1]

Note- The lineage as third son here and on all others will depend whether, one makes Charles Warburton Lax the eldest son or we make Charles Warburton, son of Maria Addison, independent of Lax. We have made him the eldest son of William Lax in our research but on this site I get the feeling that would not be correct.
