George married Mary Brangwin, daughter of Edmund Brangwin and Mary Deane of Hambleden, Bucks, on July 13th, 1809 at St Mary’s Hambleden. Mary was baptised in 1786 at Hambleden, Bucks. The marriage licence was issued to George Barnett and Edmund Brangwin, Mary’s father. George’s place of abode was given as Remenham, Berks, while Edmund was of Hambleden, Bucks. The licence was issued on July 12th in the forty ninth year of the reign of George the third, in other words 1809. The signatures of George and Edmund appear at the bottom of the document.
Witnesses at the wedding were Mary Barnett (George's sister), Elizabeth Brangwin (Mary's sister) & F.... Brangwin (possibly Mary's uncle Francis).

George died on February 18th, 1831 at Harpsden, Oxfordshire at the age of 46. His burial is listed in the Rotherfield Greys Independent Chapel register and states that he lived at Upper House Farm. He was buried in Vault No 7 at the chapel, as were his sons Francis and Henry.
A transcipt of George's Will is held in the Oxford County Archives. Probate was granted on June 4th, 1831 in Oxford. His occupation was given as farmer. Property included in the will was Upper House Farm, Harpsden, Oxon.

In 1841 Mary was living at Hart St, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon with son Daniel and daughter Eliza. Her occupation is given as butcher and her age was 50.

In 1851 she was visiting Isaac Eane, a farmer of Red Barn in Great Marlow, Bucks.

The actual date and place of Mary's death is unknown, however a reference to her death was found in a letter dated November 5th, 1861 from her daughter Mary to brother James:
It is now getting on twelve months since we lost our dear mother. But it was a happy thing for us to think she was surrounded by every comfort in her last, and that her end appeared peace.
