My understanding is that wife Jane never talked about him ever again. The children Wilfred , Leonard etc did not ever see him ever again or knew what happened to him. George was born Oldswinford in abt 1863 ( cannot find his birth ). He is also not on the 1871 Census and I cannot find his death. Beginning to think he emigrated!

On the 1911 Census George Harbage age 49 a brass worker is at home ( 99 Ruston St, Ladywood, Birmingham, Warks ) with wife Jane and family. By 1920 Jane is living on her own bringing up the kids. She never talks about him, even to the children. What became of George?????
