George WALLER was born about 1808 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. We do not know who his parents were Although there is a record of a George Waller born in 1806 in Norwich to a William Waller and Rebecca Ward, this does not appear to be a good match. In all of the censuses, his birthdate can be calculated as 1808 or 1809, and in all but one census he is listed as being born in Great Yarmouth, not Norwich.
When he was 23, he married Hannah WATSON at Gorleston with Southtown, Suffolk, daughter of Henry WATSON and Hannah TAYLOR, on 22 Oct 18315,6,7. Although in Suffolk, Gorleston with Southtown was on the River Yare, less than a mile and just opposite Great Yarmouth, and, in fact, was called Little Yarmouth32,33.
