George Mackenzie Bacon (1835-1883) Son of George Peter and Hannah Bacon. He and his younger brother, Walter Charles are listed on the 1841 Census aged 5 and 4 with their Grandfather, Richard Mackenzie Bacon, ‘Printer’, and his second wife Margaret, in the village of Costessey, Norfolk. He went on after medical school to become a specialist in psychiatric medicine at Fulbourn Hospital, Cambridge. The new hospital unit is named after him.
Walter Charles Bacon (1836-1883) In 1851 he is listed in London, aged 14 as ‘apprentice to shoemaker’. In 1861 he is listed , aged 24 as ‘colonial broker’. By 1881 he lives in ‘The Albany’, and is a ‘Chemical merchant’ and Head of household, with 2 servants and an office in the City of London. His estate at his death amounted to ‘£25,367. 4s 4d’. Quite a contrasting career, compared to that of his brother. Both brothers appear to have been bachelors, and died in the same year.
