He was the eldest boy of the family and second eldest child.
On the 3rd of November, 1869 George married Rachel Allport at the Tuamarina School House. He was aged 24.
They had five children who lived past child birth and raised them in the area.
George was found dead in 1881 after an apparent suicide. In the Nelson newspaper it reads as follows;
" A Melancholy End.—A telegram announcing the death of Mr George Jellyman under very painful circumstances has caused deep grief in the locality to which he originally belonged. The deceased was a son of the late Mr Enock Jellyman, of Stoke, and his mother and a large circle of relatives still live in this suburb of the city. By a fatal accident the widow was deprived of her husband, and now in her grief at the loss of a son, she will meet with much commiseration. The telegraphic report of the event received by Inspector Atcheson read as follows:—"A man named George Jellyman .committed suicide at Spring Creek yesterday (Sunday). He was last seen alive at_2 p.m., and at 9 p.m. last night his body was found in a water hole in one of his own paddocks with his throat cut, and a clasp knife in ins hand, which fell from his hand as we took him out of the hole."—Colonist, August 16.
