György was born in Gerecsavecz (Gerečavci, between Sveti Jurij and Večeslavci).
Ferenc's mother Anna Trájber was of German descent from Ritkarócz (Ritkaháza, Kétvölgy).
He began his career in 1809 as an assistant teacher in Felsőszölnök, under schoolmaster Mihály Bertalanits (who was born in the same village as Marič's father).
Later they moved to Istvánfalva, where he took over a teaching job that belonged to his father, who had died five years earlier.
He was last mentioned in 1844, when his daughter Anna died; the date of his death is unknown.
