George Wainwright

George Wainwright was born in Manchester, England in 1880. He was the ninth child born to James and Ann Maria Wainwright. By 1901, for reasons that we don't know, James and Ann Maria were living apart. George and his father, James, were living with his sister, Elizabeth and her husband Frank Stubbs and their daughter, Theresa. George was working with his father at this time in the Lath Render business.

George married Elizabeth Mary Granshaw (aka Polly) in 1904. Elizabeth's sister, Harriet, married George's brother, Samuel Wainwright in 1906.

George immigrated to Australia (possibly in 1910) with his brother, William, to farm. George and his wife never had any children and George passed away on Dec. 26, 1956
