Great Great Half Uncle George Vernon

My Great Great Half Uncle George (1900 - 1900) was the younger half brother of my Great Grandfather Walter Charles Vernon (1892 - 1965).



George was born in Jul/Aug/Sep 1900 in the district of Tiverton, Devon, to Isaac 'Harry' Harwood Vernon (30), an agricultural labourer and farm carter, and Ellen Vernon (nee Tonkins) (23), a former domestic servant and now a housewife.

George had four older half siblings (one half sister and three half brothers) - the children of his father Harry and his first wife Lucy James - :

  • Edith Ellen  1891 - 1971  (79)
  • Walter Charles  1892 - 1965  (73)
  • William John  1894 - ????  (?)
  • Frank  1896 - 19??  (?)

And nine full siblings (seven brothers and two sisters):

  • Frederick 'Fred' (born Tonkins, later Vernon)  1897 - 1915  (18)
  • Mabel Ellen  1898 - 1993  (94)
  • George  1900 - 1900  (0 - 3 months old)
  • George Henry  1901 - 1973  (71)
  • Ernest Isaac  1904 - 1997  (93)
  • Isaac Harry (went by Harry like his father)  1906 - 1964  (58)
  • William Harwood  1908 - 1972  (64)
  • Florence Emily  1911 - 1993  (82)
  • Sidney 'Sid'  1913 - 2004  (91)
  • Percy  1915 - 2002  (86)

Sadly little George's life was a short one. He passed away in the same quarter that he was born - Jul/Aug/Sep 1900 in the district of Tiverton - aged only zero to three months old. His parents would name their next born son George also.

It is likely George's short life was lived in West Bowley, Cadbury. This was listed as the family's abode, on the school record of George's older half siblings Edith and Walter - the pair attended Cadbury School from the 12th March to the 7th September 1900.
