George Clement Ormond and Mabel Gertrude Ormond nee Smith
George Clement Ormond was the second of the six children of Maurice George Ormond and his wife Susannah Clara nee Foard. He was born on 16 February 1869 in Edmonton, Middlesex, and his father was a linen draper. The family business was to absorb several of the siblings; interestingly George's brother Herbert took on their premises in Stoke Newington, became mayor of that borough eleven times and was knighted for his civic services in 1920.
When he was 12 George was at boarding school in Barnet, and by the time he was 31, on 15 August 1900, he married at St Mary's Hanwell, his profession being "linen draper at Hanwell Broadway". He and his wife, Mabel Gertrude nee Smith, had four children, and by the 1939 register he was retired and living in Southall. He died on 21 September 1954, his address being The Cottage, Stoneleigh. Presumably he and his wife had moved to Warwickshire owing to his son
Maurice John Ormond farming at Manor Fields Farm, Stoneleigh. (Maurice and his wife are buried at
B2.11)
Mabel Gertrude Smith was born on 15 June 1877 to Harry and Mary Smith nee Moody, who lived in Kings Somborne in Hampshire - Mabel's birth was registered in the district of Whitchurch. She had four siblings. When she married George Clement Ormond on 15 August 1900 her father was described as an engineer. At her death on 29 November 1954 her address was The Cottage Stoneleigh, and sadly she died just two months after her husband George.
