George died on 31 December 1878. From 1880 his wife was listed in the directories.
Two things stand out here - firstly, that there are two apparent gaps in the record, which may indicate two periods of absence. This requires a more detailed examination. We know from the previous post on the West Coast Times advertisements that he was in Hokitika, New Zealand, in 1867, which matches with one of the years in which George was absent from the directories.
Secondly, that George's main occupation, where it is recorded, is as a teacher, or Professor of Music. After the second period of absence, from 1874, it is not so clear how he was employed. In the 1867 ads he is a piano tuner and repairer, which is quite a change from 'musician'.
