1851 aged 12, living at Biggleswade Union Workhouse with his widowed mother Sophia Dear and brother William. Email from Unice Green 23/1/2009: - "Grandfather George Dear came out to NZ in the mid 1890's. His movements are, other than he was at the South Island goldfields, on the whole unknown. He spent some time travelling between Australia and New Zealand. In 1872 he married Sarah Oliver, brought land in the Manawatu near Palmerston North, had 15 children, my father being the youngest born in 1900, and died in 1915 a relatively wealthy man for the times. A long way from the Biggleswade Workhouse!!! When he purchased land a grant was in the name of his brother William. William has never surfaced and the story goes that they were not on speaking terms. William arrived in Geelong, Australia, in 1857 on the Admiral Boxer, along with his half brother Offspring whose wife was was a Matilda Trigg, possibly William's mothers sister. George Dear came out to NZ via the South African goldfields. I did hear a story that he was found hitching a ride up a hill on a bread van in Bedfordshire, was caught and then sent to Australia but as a labourer for one of the military. Whether this is true we don't know."
