George was a mining engineer. He first came to Sydney to visit his older surviving brother* Richard (Professor of Physics at Sydney University) (b. 1861) then returned temporarily to England. The actual location of his marriage to Rosalie is thought to be Sydney with the two returning soon after to England via Switzerland (click here for Schweppes connection). Children Martyn and Reginald were born London. At some stage, George returned to Australia although it seems George continued with his mining projects as he died Pachuca Mexico, where considerable silver and gold deposits had previously been found. * see William in panel below |
