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.
