Father of George Leigh Mallory [5 December 2014]
Wikipedia states:
- "... Mallory Walk is named after Canon Hugh Leigh-Mallory who was Rector of St Mary’s Church Dodleston between the years 1927 to 1940, having previously been incumbent at St John’s Church in Birkenhead.
- "The Rector's son George Leigh-Mallory, born 18 June 1886 in Mobberley, Cheshire, is famously associated as being the English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to conquer Mount Everest in the early 1920s. It was on the third expedition in June 1924 that Mallory and his climbing companion Andrew ‘’Sandy’’ Irvine both disappeared on the high North East Ridge.
- "In 1999, the body of George Mallory was discovered within a few hundred metres of the summit of Everest and speculation continues as to whether or not both Mallory and Irvine had actually reached the summit before their untimely deaths."
WeRelate currently says that George Mallory's father was Herbert.
