GEORGE ANTHONY MILLWARD died at Handsworth on July 21, 1907, at the age of fifty-three. He was born in South Staffordshire, and was for some years steelworks manager at the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company's works, Wednesbury.

In 1899 he purchased the Knutton Forge from the late Mr. Francis Stanier, and these works, which had stood idle for a number of years, were soon afterwards reopened.
Mr. Millward afterwards returned to the Shelton Iron, Steel, and Coal Company, subsequently removing to Handsworth as the Birmingham representative of the company. He was a member of the Staffordshire Iron and Steel Institute, and of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers.
He was elected a member of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1889.
