George Harold Lancaster, Sr.

 I need basic biography for G. H. Lancaster, vicar of St. Stephen's, Bow, London. I especially need birth and death dates, where he was educated, any printed sermons. I have his book on the war and prophecy. I do not need that.


Anyone?

George Harold Lancaster, M.A. F.R.A.S. was born 10 December 1882 and died 4 April 1950. Married Dora Janet Kingsley Jay in 1919. She died in 1959. No details of any children. At the time of his death he was living at St Paul's Vicarage, Winchmore Hill, London. Became a freemason (Royal Colonial Institute Lodge) in 1919. He was a member of the British Astronomical Association from 1912-1926 when he resigned. Was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society on April 11, 1913, and died as a Fellow. There may be an obituary in the monthly notices of the RAS.
