George Robert Sackett, son of Robert George Sackett and Judith Fegen, was born in Ramsgate, KentG, in 1854.1,2 He died aged 62 in Thanet, KentG, in 1916.3 He married there in 1880, Caroline Edith Pillow.4,5 She was born in Canterbury, KentG, in 1852 or 1853.2
In 1861 George was living at 3 Leopold Street, Ramsgate, KentG, in the household of his parents Robert and Judith, and was recorded in the census as George Sackett, a scholar, aged seven and born in Ramsgate.6
In 1871 he was living at 21 Meeting Street, RamsgateG, in the household of his parents Robert and Judith, and was recorded as George Sackett, a general porter, aged 17, and born in Ramsgate.7
In 1891 he was living at 24 Leopold Street, RamsgateG, and was recorded as George R Sackett, a licensed porter, head of household, married, aged 37 and born in Ramsgate.
