Frederick George was always known as George and was born on 24th Aug 1904 at 21 Hawthorn Avenue, Willaston, Nantwich (Hawthorn Avenue is now within the boundaries of Nantwich). He was baptised on the same day and in the same church as his future wife, Violet May Ruscoe, Nantwich Parish Church, on 28th Sep 1904. He is shown to be living at 21 Hawthorne Avenue in 1911 at the age of 7 years.

He left school at the age of 14 years and worked as a Farm-hand for a Millington's Farm in Broad Lane, Stapeley.

Some years later he was known to have worked at a Smethurst's Farm near to Knutsford, Cheshire again as a Farm-hand. He later worked for British Rail in Crewe and was transferred from Crewe to Shrewsbury in 1929. His pay at that time was one pound seven shillings per week.

George married Violet May Ruscoe on 29th Mar 1929 at Nantwich Parish Church. The witnesses at the ceremony were Violet's brother Frank and her sister Alice. George and Violet lodged with a Mr Hughes in Shrewsbury during the early part of their marriage.

They moved to 27 Wybunbury Road, Willaston near Nantwich in 1933 and their first child was born there during that year. Unfortunately the child, a girl, was still-born and George carried her on his bike to Wybunbury Church where she was buried by the churchyard wall in an unmarked grave. George and Violet lived in Wybunbury Road for the rest of their lives.

George worked as a Gang Leader on the Permanent Way for British Rail, Crewe and for many years he was responsible for the maintenance of the railway track on the Shrewsbury line between Crewe and Nantwich.

He helped with the Scout Group in Willaston for a time and was also involved in the running and organising of the village Whist Drives. He was also known in the village as a part-time Cobbler, Hairdresser and First-Aider. He was a member of the Wyche Anglers in Nantwich and was noted as one of the best fly-fishermen in the area at that time.

George's wife Violet May died in 1953 leaving him with his two sons, aged 15 and 10, to bring up. He died on 31st Jan 1954 of Cerebral Haemorrhage (Stroke), two months after his wife died, at his home in Willaston and was buried in the same grave as his wife in the churchyard at Wistaston Church on 4th Feb 1954 (plot B85).
