• source. Graham Pearson & http://www.sheather.co.uk/_sgg/mum1s8_1.htm & Geoff & Val Wells who writes:
George's occupation is identified as brickmaker in March 1880 on his step daughter Dennis's marriage certificate when she married Michael Bennett. 1843: Labourer as identified on baptism record for son Naasson. In an article believed to have been written by A.G.N Dawes for the Clay Products Journal of Australia, September 1936 Alfred tells us that his Grandfather was a pioneer brick-maker in the unsettled Alexandria area of Sydney in 1845. Sands Directory for Newtown area identifies George in 1863 as a Brickmaker in Cooks River Road. The directory has no listing for George prior to 1863. Sands and Kenny directories, page 242 further identify that in 1863 George was making bricks in Mary Street, Cooks River Road. It is believed that daughter Orientia spent some time at school in Melbourne so it may well be that the family or just George and Orientia relocated there. Some family researchers believe George may have been identified as "next of kin" when his brother William was murdered and that George, and possibily his family relocated to Melbourne at the time to attend to the necessary matters and arrange for the care of William's daughter. It is believed that they then returned to Sydney.

• facts. George worked as a brick maker in both England and at Cooks River Rd, Sydney, New South Wales. He also worked on the
