Rev. George Henley Manbey

Vicar-designate of St Albans Chiswick in 1887.

From The Life and Death of Andy Ducat by Jonathan Northall (pdf):  "... Crompton House School which would later become Southend Grammar School. Crompton House was situated at Warrior Square in Southend and was styled as ‘a high class school for the sons of gentlemen’. It was run by the Rev. George Henley Manbey M.A. Oxon. ..  Manbey was a graduate from Oxford University, and had spent time as the vicar of St Alban’s Church in Acton Green before moving to Southend. .. Manbey was also a huge believer in abstinence from alcohol and was president of the Southend Temperance League. .. Although Manbey had interests in chess and horticulture, he was clearly a fan of sport. Football featured prominently in his advertisements for the school. He was also a lover of cricket .."

From Alumni Oxoniensis (1715-1886) volume 3.djvu/122: "Manbey, Rev. George Henley, 2s. George, of St. Nicholas, Guildford, gent. Keble Coll., matric. 13 Oct., 1873, aged 18; B.A. 1877, M.A. 1880."
