George Charleton Barron (c. 1846–1891) of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, was a Gateshead-born actor, mimic, elocutionist and general entertainer.
Unfortunately, the career as an actor was brief; he returned to Newcastle, where he played dramatic roles which, aided by his ability, made him a great favourite.
He was much sought after by his wide circle of friends for social gatherings and could speak both Scottish and Tyneside dialects.
George Charleton Barron died 16 June 1891 at North Shields at the age of only 44 or 45.
H. Ian William, the Congregational minister, said: "His life was marked by many fine traits, but most noticeable was his bubbling cheerfulness — an animated sunbeam, which brightened everybody and every place".
