 Another name for George was Robert George DARLOW.
General Notes:
Occupation Foundry Fitter. He converted to Catholicism to marry Edith Hargreaves .George Robert and his brother Arthur William travelled to Boston in August 1906 and is recorded as "bohemian" on the ships manifest, however, his brother who travelled with him is not. After further investigation I believe that "bohemian" should actually be "British".
FROM THE RECOLLECTIONS OF ROBERT BERNARD BLACKWELL IN 1987 (NEPHEW)
.........And then there was Mum's brother Bob, young fellow. She used to like him. He got married, he married a nurse and they had two sons that was the last I heard of him. And he was then, when we left England, we went to see him down at …………. He wasn't home, he was at his work. We went to this factory and out comes this chap with his smart overalls on, badge across the front, cap on his head, Uncle Bob. He was the engineer there, he was a top class engineer, Uncle Bob and he had this job, he used to look after the boiler room and the big main engines, because in those days they didn't have separate motors, they were steam driven and they had one big engine in the basement, and it used to drive all the overhead shafts for all the machines in the factory and every man used to switch on his machine. They used to run all day those machines. Well he had charge of that, had to keep that going. Well I remember him cuddling us and saying cheerio and that was the last I ever saw of Uncle Bob. I suppose he's long gone..................
