George Gill (c.1842-1900) was a spring-knife cutler, who was listed at 107 Eyre Street (Trinity Works of Geo. Butler) in 1868.  By 1881, he employed sixteen workers (eleven men, two boys, a woman, and two girls).  George Gill brought his son, Henry Herbert (1868-1918) into the business, but the business was bankrupt in 1885.  In 1888, George Gill applied to be discharged from bankruptcy and apparently continued trading.  He was described as a ‘cutlery manufacturer’, Woodbank Avenue, when he died on 12 December 1900, aged 59.  His wife, Mary, had predeceased him, aged 34, in 1880.  Their remains lie in the General Cemetery.   After his death, George Gill & Sons appeared at 107 Eyre Street, but its connection (if any) with the late George Gill is uncertain.
