| Admin history: | George Marris was born in Hull in 1854. He trained as an engineer but soon felt compelled to enter the Wesleyan Methodist ministry. After training at Richmond College he was dispatched to the Canton District of China in 1879 where he remained for four years until ill-health forced him to return to England. He spent the remainder of his long career in home districts and circuits (principally in the North and West of England) including at Oxford where his superintendent, Hugh Price Hughes, described him as 'the ideal Circuit minister'. He became a supernumerary at South Norwood, Surrey [Greater London] in 1920 and died on 6 April 1952. His son, George Stainton Marris (1885-1955), also became a Wesleyan Methodist minister serving in India as well as Great Britain. | George Marris was born in Hull in 1854.
