Georgina died of alcoholism (cirrhosis of liver) in infirmary, death certificate shows her as housekeeper of Soton U.D. Alice Kate remarried 1.9.1923 at Poplar Register Office, Alfred Anderson. There is no official record of births of any children to Henry George and Georgina, who married in 1884, and the birth of Reginald Palmer (almost certainly Alice Kate's child - see later note) was not registered. Subsequent children are known to have been Alice Kate's, and with the exception of Alice (not then born) appear with Reginald and Henry George on a 1910 London photograph. Dorothy (birth unregistered) is known to have been Henry George's daughter, and is understood to have been brought up in Southampton by grandparents; the fact that she does not appear on the 1910 photograph is probably an indication that her mother was Georgina. Another unregistered birth around this time was that of Cornelious Harrow George, born 1894/5, and on the basis of the note under his name (this section below) he has been recorded as Georgina's son. For reasons unknown Alice Kate married Henry George, as a spinster, in the name Crouter, repeated on the birth certificate of daughter Alice; on Mary Kate's birth record, Alice Kate's maiden name appears as Palmer, the name given on the certificate of her second marriage.

See Henry George b 6.4.1859 (this section above). Birth not registered, marriage record, in above names, shows father's surname as Weygood (the spelling used by Henry George), supplemented by "Christian name unknown", the father's occupation being stated as carpenter, which, while not agreeing with Henry George's, was that of Georgina's father. If he was Georgina's son by Henry George the latter's move to London would explain Cornelious's lack of knowledge of him. At the time of his marriage at 21 Cornelious was a Sergeant, R.F.A., suggesting that he may have joined the Army at a very early age. He was the father of a child, Georgina, who died in Woolwich RD in 1934(4) before reaching the age of one year; the child's name may be a further indication of his own parentage; he may well have had other children, but index details of births after 1913 are unknown. He died in 1935 aged 39 years.
