Shortly after their marriage they moved to Dublin where George worked for Findlater's Grocery Store. Sons Eamon and George were born in Dublin in 1923 and 1926.

In September 1927 George travelled to New York aboard the SS Leviathan (arriving on the 5th September ) where he took up a position with Findlater's. Elizabeth, Eamon and George followed the following January aboard the SS President Roosevelt arriving on the 14th January 1928. They are recorded in the 1930 US Census living in an apartment in North Hempstead Town in the suburb of Great Neck on Long Island. His wife Elizabeth became ill and they returned to England aboard the SS Scythia and lived with George's widowed mother (Mary Ann ) and brother Joe in Wembley. Joe was a road sweeper for the local council and was buying the house but couldn't keep up the repayments. George sold subscriptions to the daily newspapers and later worked for his brother Frank in his shop-fitting business.

When Mary Lovelock died George remembers several ladies who cooked their meals and in particular an Irish lady called Josie who was very good to them. Later they moved to 56 Barry Road Willesden where Frank had his shop-fitting business. F C Lovelock & Co. Ltd shop-fitters is listed in the local Kelly's Directory from 1937 to 1939.

George said that it was a small house. Downstairs was an office where Frank paid his staff on Friday. Upstairs was 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room with bath and toilet on the ground floor. Frank had a workshop in the rear yard. George is unsure whether Frank owned or rented the property. Barry Road was bombed during the War. Ern drove trolley buses in the area.
