George was married in 1797 to Ann Stocks "both of Kippax. Licence. Thos Heron, surrogate. Witnesses Ben. Stocks and Maria Stocks". Baine's 1822 Directory of West Riding includes "Ellerton, George (surgeon)" at Kippax. His sons John, George and Joseph were also to follow in his footsteps and become surgeons.
A notice of Ann's death on 1st February 1841 appeared in the Hull Packet. The June 1841 census showed George living in Church Lane, Kippax with his son George junior, three servants, and a surgeon's apprentice.
George's death ("aged 72") was reported in the Leeds Mercury. The PCC indexes for 1845 shows "Intestate, Revd. George Ellerton; Administrator: John Ellerton, Abberford"
