He was educated at Eton, 1805-1811, and at Oxford. He then became M.P. for Chippenham, 1818-1820; and for Woodstock 1826-1831, 1832-1835 and 1838-1840. When he was twenty-three he "married" a seventeen-year-old girl; however, when the matter was taken to court, it turned out that the ceremony's clergyman was his brother, an army officer. Consequently the marriage was declared invalid and their daughter illegitimate.
On 13 January 1819 he married his first cousin, Lady Jane Stewart. They became the parents of four children before she died at the age of forty-six. Two years after her death, on 10 June 1846, he married Hon. Charlotte Augusta Flower. There were two more children before she also died. Then, on 18 October 1851, he married another cousin, Jane Frances Clinton Stewart. He was fifty-eight and she thirty-four, and they became the parents of another son. However, she ran off to Brighton, taking her son with her. But when the child was returned to Blenheim, she took her husband to court, accusing him of both kidnapping the child and of adultery. The Duchess said she would return if he dismissed Sarah Licence, a housekeeper and nurse, with whom she suspected her husband of having an affair. George refused as, being almost crippled by gout, he needed her as a nurse. Four years later George died, leaving Sarah Licence an annuity but his wife nothing.
