George Mills

1836-1913

George was born to Thomas Mills and Charlotte Cole in Bognor, Sussex, England June 26, 1836. He was sixth of what was to become a family of eleven. His brothers and sisters were: Robert Thomas, Joseph, (who lived only 6 months), Margaret, Charles, Richard, George himself; Charlotte Anne (lived only 9 years), Joseph (lived less than a month), Mercy, Frances Jane, and Henry Isaac, most of whom later emigrated to Utah. Bognor is located about 68 miles southwest of London on the south shore of England on the English Channel.

Apparently the church they attended was located in South Bersted, just a mile or less west from Bognor, because that is where the christening: and burial records were found. George's father, Thomas, joined the LDS Church and was baptized March 9, 1844 and George's brother Richard, was baptized about 2 years later followed by Charles in 1851, Frances "Fanny" in 1852, Margaret in 1867, Henry Isaac in 1871, and John in June of 1872.
