Elizabeth Mary Dainton married George Fisher 1888 and they had two sons. George W and Albert James.

I know that he was an Outfitter, starting his training at 13 in 1909 and starting his own business in Lydney in 1919. He married Beatrice Barron in 1920 and had 3 children, James, Christian and Verna.

I hope this helps you.
