It looks like George's brother Alfred (aka Amos Alfred) died, unmarried, in 1916 in Iraq.

George's other brother Ernest William married Mary Ann Kate Brazier in 1918 and they appear to have had only one child, a daughter born in 1935 and baptised in Great Dunmow, who married in the Dunmow district in 1954. I couldn't find any children for the couple but her (possible) 1939 register record is still closed so she may still alive.

There is another George Henry Barrick born 1884 in Dunmow so are we absolutely sure that death in 1918 in Orsett is the correct George? If so, I'll try and locate the burial.

On the CWGC page George it has the following note so it looks like his burial has been located doesn't say what evidence there is for it.

Recent research has shown that Private Barrick is buried here [Great Dunmow churchyard]. The Commission is in the process of alternatively commemorating him within the churchyard as it is not possible to mark his actual grave.
