George Lazenby (October, 1807 – June 9, 1895) was an early settler of
cabinetmaking business and for being a Methodist preacher.[1] A native of Spaldington in the north of England,[2] he visited the Swan River Colony on his brother's ship in 1831 (travelling to benefit his health) and emigrated there soon after, arriving on the Cygnet in January 1833.[1] He was superintendent of the first sunday school in the Colony.[3] In the 1860s he built a house at Cardup, and established a flour mill[4] and brick works—the latter continued in operation until the 1990s.[5]
His elder daughter (of ten children[2]) Hannah Boyd Lazenby married William Shakespeare Hall on 2 November 1868,[6] and his younger daughter Jane Wesley Lazenby married Samuel John Rowe (son of Sub-Inspector of Police Thomas Rowe) on 21 January 1883;[7] one of their sons was J. P. Durack.[8] Another daughter married W. T. King.[9]
Lazenby died in June 1895[2] at his residence in Lake Street, Perth, and he was buried in the East Perth Cemeteries on 13 June.[9]
