George Cole (South Australian politician)

George William Cole (15 January 1823 – 4 December 1893) was a politician in the colony of South Australia.

George married a second time, to Mrs Jane Mitchell in 1838.

He was, like his father, a confirmed teetotaler, active in the Bible Christian Missionary Society and the Total Abstinence Society[3] and important in the founding of Rechabites in South Australia.

In the 1850s he lived next door to the Temperance Hall[6] in Tynte Street, North Adelaide; later at Lymington Cottage, Melbourne Street, North Adelaide.

Cole arrived in South Australia with his father, stepmother and six siblings: He married Ann Elizabeth Mitchell (14 January 1824 – 9 October 1915) on 1 December 1845.
