Here are some pictures of George and his wife which I took during my visit
about 5 or 6 years ago:

Also his article on the lunar distances. The illustration
in this article shows me taking a lunar with George's sextant
(a very fine 1850-s sextant by Cary of London which he bought on e-bay
shortly before my visit)
from his backyard:
