Biography

George married Mary Elizabeth Vienot. They were married at the St. John Anglican Church, in Lunenburg, on 18 April 1820.[1]

He died in 1857[2] or 23 March 1867.[3]

Research Notes

George appears to have been born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (the obit for his son Benjamin says that both George and Mary were born in England. This obit also says that George's middle name was Michel not Michael, which could be a typo. OneWorldTree and FamilySearch have his birthplace as Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. FamilySearch also has a christening date of 12 Apr 1796 which presumably came from primary sources).
