  	Royal Navy

  Middle name relationship	After whom given / reason unknown - unless a clue as to his biological maternal grandfather?
  	Not found as a family surname on paternal side (ancestry known extensively). Not found on the maternal side, but only known to his grandparents. If it had been from the maternal side we might have expected to find it amongst the siblings of his mother, but it is not. There is a strange situation on the maternal side though: George's mother, Emma, was, like most of her siblings, born illegitimate, and her name changed from 'Emma BEAL' to 'Emma Beal HALL' after her mother married Robert HALL. In Emma's case this was 16 years after her birth. Was her true father a WALKER (maybe even 'George WALKER'?).

  	Date from his great granddaughter
  Buried	Prospect Cemetery, Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada
