In the 1871 Census George was living at Upper Green, Mitcham with his parents + 2 siblings and his paternal grandfather. 10 years later the family were now at Eastfields, 5 Concrete Cottages in Mitcham with George now having 4 siblings at home with him and his parents. In 1891 the family is recorded as HOOKINGS and were living at 18 Sibthorp Road in Mitcham.
On 3 August 1896 George married Emma Rebecca FROST at St Mary the Virgin Church in Hampstead when George was described as a Labourer.

Their first child was Ethel Ada Annie who was born on 4 May 1897 at 2 Lennard Road, Lonesome in Mitcham. George is now described as a Labourer at a Chemical Works where he was still working when their 2nd child was born on 5 February 1900 at 3 Rupert Terrace, London Road, Mitcham. It was a second daughter named Eva Florence Charlotte. The following year in the 1901 Census the family is to be found at 5 Smith Terrace on London Road although George's wife's name has been transcribed as Emily. George remains in the same job and the family are living next door to George's widowed mother and family.
By 1911 the family, transcribed again incorrectly as HACKINGS, are located in St Mawes Cottage in Fernlea Road in Mitcham together with a couple of boarders.
In the next 10 years both daughters were to marry and nothing more is heard of George and Emma until the 1939 Register where Emma is found to be a widow living at 42 Fernlea Road, George having died very recently on 3 August that year. With Emma were Amelia FROST and a lodger Raymond ROBINSON.
George was buried in Mitcham.
