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] 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[2] and brick works—the latter continued in operation until the 1990s.[3]

His elder daughter Hannah Boyd Lazenby married William Shakespeare Hall on 2 November 1868,[4] and his younger daughter Jane Wesley Lazenby married Samuel John Rowe (son of Sub-Inspector of Police Thomas Rowe) on 21 January 1883.[5]
