Biographical history
George Thomson was born on August 31, 1826, in Spital, Jamaica.
He was a lawyer. When he was young, his family moved to Halifax. He was a merchant in Arichat, Nova Scotia, until 1869, when he moved to Halifax. His brothers James and Cathcart were well-known lawyers there. About 1873, he joined them in forming a law partnership Thomsons & Bullock. In 1888, George moved his family to Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He continued his practice of law in Halifax at least until 1890. In 1897, he was elected mayor of the Town of Wolfville and remained in office until 1902.
