George Hilton Kennett first married Eleanor Lawrence at the Parish at the Parish Church of St. Mary Magdelene, London on 16 October 1866, four days after his sister Charlotte's wedding. Eleanors father was an umbrella manufacturer. George was living at 15 Little Knight Rider Sreet at the time and working as a clerk. John Kennett witnessed the wedding.

Eleanor must have died within two or three years of the marriage.
