ABOUT ME
In 1888, at the age of 14 George Frederick Maddock had become an apprentice seaman. By the age of 19 (1893) he had enough experience to earn a certificate as a 2nd Mate. He gave his address as 3 Berkeley St., Douglas, Isle of Man.
He did not appear in the 1891 census as he was probably at sea but by 1901 George F Maddock is
a mariner’s mate living in a boarding house at 1445 St. Bride St. in
Liverpool. The photograph below from his Merchant Marine Record

Frederick Maddock aged 28 (7 Margaret Rd, Walton, Liverpool)
married Ellen Price aged 23, on 30 Jan 1903 at the Welsh Congregational
Chapel, Park Rd. Toxteth Park, Liverpool. At that time, Ellen was
working as a
cook at 26
Information on his Merchant Marine card indicates he had a tattoo on his left arm “friendship”. I was fortunate to find a fairly complete record of G.F.Maddock's Merchant Marine Service on Ancestry.com

1911 Liverpool Street Directory G.F. Maddock is listed as a ship's officer, living at 13 Pym Street, Walton. In the 1911 census George (a widower, aged 37) has living with him with his brother-in-law Hughie Hughes (a carpenter aged 25) and sister-in-law Margaret Hughes (aged 23). Margaret was presumably looking after Ella aged 6.
1938 In the 1938 Directory G.F.Maddock was still listed, as master mariner. This would have been compiled during 1937. In March 1938 G.F. Maddock (aged 63) died of cardiac failure in Walton, Liverpool
