George was born at Auchafour Cottage, Toward, near Dunoon, on 11th June 1888. His parents were Alexander, a ploughman and Elizabeth Stout. They were married in Rothesay in 1878.
On the 1891 census, George was living in Inverkip with his 7 siblings. His father's occupation is listed as 'general house porter'. The address is difficult to decipher but it looks like 'Sir Michael - last property', adjacent to a grocer's shop. In 1901, the family were living at Kirkbraefoot Cottage, Main Street, Inverkip.
On the 1911 census, George was living in Kilmartin, Argyll as a boarder of John Davidson and working as a domestic gardener.
