George Edward Brewer

George Edward Brewer was the youngest child of Alonzo and Harriet Brewer. Their other children included: Alonzo (b.1865), Henry (b.1871), John (1873), Arthur (b.1876/d.1881) and Elizabeth Sarah (b.1879). In the 1871 and 1881 census the family were living at 7 Clare Court, St. Ann’s. In 1891 their address was 6 Lees Yard, St Ann’s. In 1898 Harriet Brewer died aged 55. So by 1901 Alonzo Brewer had moved in with his married son, John Brewer. By trade was a tailor, Alonzo Brewer died in Nottingham, aged 74, in 1905. In 1907 George Edward Brewer married Annie Wood at Nottingham. They had four children: Ada Elizabeth (b.1908), John Edward (b.1910), Arthur S. (b.1913) and Alice M. (b.1914). In 1911 the family were living at 3 Greendale Square, Walker Street, Sneinton. A death notice in the local papers indicated they had recently lived at 10 Storer Street [n.e.p.28.2.1917]. A second one mentioned 4 Garfield Road, Radford, which was the home of his brother, John Brewer. This link may explain why his name was included on the Garfield Road War Memorial. It seems likely that his widow married again. It might have been to John P. Terrey in 1921. If so, Annie Terrey died at Nottingham, aged 79 in 1956.
