He married MARY HELLYER at St Mary's, Southampton in 1856. Her father was James Hellyer , a stonemason & George's father James Phillips, a labourer. James Hellyer married Mary Oliver in 1832 (as per Hampshire marriage Licences). James was the son of Edward Hellyer, both of St Mary's. Mary was the daughter of Isaac Oliver of Eling. I have also gone back further on these lines, but will be confirming details at Southampton archives office (hopefully!) If anyone has anything further to add, PLEASE do get in touch. I would love to hear from anyone with a connection. May I politely point out that this family is from Southampton ENGLAND, not USA & I have no information or knowledge at this stage of any American connections. Thank you. Debbie Mawdsley
