Would this be better placed in the England section
as George died there and his widow was living there at that time?
or in a general section as several locations are touched on?

Some additional information for George
His parents were
Dr. Francis George MAYBERRY and Louisa Henrietta WATT m 1873 St. George Dublin
and then lived at the Mayberry family residence at Riversdale, Kenmare, Co. Kerry

His paternal grandparents were
Dr. George MAYBERRY and Ursula Elizabeth McGILLYCUDDY of Kenmare
His maternal grandparents were
Brigadier-General Edward WATT 11th Bengal Lancers and Elizabeth ?? of England


George Mahoney MAYBERRY left his estate to his widow Lily in 1961
His address at probate was Greenlane, Riverhall Hill
Possible marriage to Lily HESLOP in 1917 in Cornwall
There may have been children as there are MAYBERRY births in the UK in the 1920s
with the mother's maiden name HESLOP, however they may be still living

He was one of six and his five sisters were
1 Ursula Maud DoB Jul 24 1877 DoD Feb 28 1963
2 Louisa Florence DoB Oct 18 1878 DoD 1917
3 Alice Mabel DoB 1880 DoD May 13 1961
4 Mary Elizabeth Worsley 1882 DoD Jan 1 1946 Pallasgreen, Limerick
    married Reverend William James SKUSE Kenmare Aug 22nd 1915
    attended TCD for BA in 1909 and was attached to several CoI parishes throughout his career
    Rev. SKUSE died July 18 1970 in St. Luke's Home, Cork and was buried in Pallasgreen
    His address at probate was Woodcote, Roundhill, Bandon, Co. Cork
5 Norah Stella DoB 1888 DoD 1979 in Surrey
    possible marriage in UK in 1918 to a William Drew NICOL (1894-1970) LINK confirming

His three unmarried sisters died in Ireland

Logically then you are looking for
1 Children or direct line from George
2 Nieces/nephews in Ireland, or their offspring, named SKUSE through his sister Mary
3 Nieces/nephews (at least 2) named NICOL, or their offspring, through his sister Norah Stella
4 Extended family through the MAYBERRYs or WATTs
   These could include cousins through
      -Maternal Aunt Honoria Ursula MAYBERRY who married Eusebius McGILLYCUDDY EAGAR
      -Maternal Aunt Elizabeth MAYBERRY who married William HOLT MARTIN

Hopefully you can locate a close family member who will help your project
