My Great x3 Uncle George (1854 - 1876), was a farm servant and a younger brother of my Great Great Grandfather William Edworthy (1852 - 1911).

1861 Census:
As a teenager, George left the family home to live and work on farms. By the time of the 1871 Census, he lived with and worked as an indoor farm servant for the Hutchings family, headed by farmer Samuel Hutchings, at West Chilla [farm], Black Torrington.
1871 Census:
Alas George passed away as a young man. Around July 1876, George passed away, aged only twenty-two, in the district of South Molton. He was buried on 13th July 1876, in East Worlington.
He was buried at St Mary's Churchyard. He shares a headstone with his mother, Mary, and older (half?) sister Ann. (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/207067273/george-edworthy)
