George Lazenby (cabinetmaker)
George Lazenby (October, 1807 – June 9, 1895) was an early settler of Western Australia, known for his cabinetmaking business and for being a Methodist preacher.[1] A native of Spaldington in the north of England,[2] he visited the Swan River Colony on his brother's ship in 1831 (travelling to benefit his health) and emigrated there soon after, arriving on the Cygnet in January 1833.[1] In the 1860s he built a house at Cardup, and established a flour mill[3] and brick works—the latter continued in operation until the 1990s.[4]
