George had four known siblings: Orlando William (b 1869), Mary Ann (b 1871), William (b 1876) and Annie (b 1886).

George served an apprenticeship with Napier Brothers in Glasgow. Afterwards he joined the White Star Line as a boilermaker aboard the Canopic and continued to work at sea for the next year before he went ashore to work for Fairfield Shipbuilding Company, followed by Caird & Co in Greenock.

George married Alice Hardy Day (b 1881 in Hampshire). They had two children: Dorothy Hardy (b 1905) and William Chapman (b 1908).
