George was born on 28/09/1797 in Sydney Cove.

He was baptised on 19/12/1797 by Rev. Johnson’s at St.Phillips Church, Sydney.

George might have been named “Esto” after a relative or family friend in England. Esto is a common name in East Anglia.
Another explanation is that he was named after the town of Esto, outside Venice in Italy, birthplace of a business friend Prosper de Mestre.

​He married on 04/03/1818 in St. Matthew’s C/E, Windsor to Susannah Jones. She was born on 12/07/1800 in Thurlton, Norfolk and baptised on 03/08/1800 in Old Church, Saint Pancras, London, England, U.K.

Susannah arrived in Australia on 14/12/1801 on board the “Nile” as a free settler.

​They had the following 7 children:

• George John Kable (1818 – 1853)

• Mary Matilda Mileham Kable (1822 – 1900)

• William Kable (1824 – 1895)

• John Kable (1830 – 1898)

• Susannah Kable (1832 – 1926)

• Eliza(beth) Kable (1835 – 1912)

• Emma Kable (1839 – 1920)

​Susannah died in Bathurst on 18/07/1848 and is buried on 21/07/1848.

George died in the Bathurst area but so far nobody knows the exact place and date. Often it is mixed up with his son George John.

​He is buried, as George Cable, on 01/04/1853 at Wesleyan in the Bathurst Circuit.
