I'm not sure what relation George Hamilton Musgrave was to him, but he was born in 1871 in Lewisham, London. He is mentioned several times in the London Electoral registers. He died 28 April 1937 at 30 Alleyn Park, Dulwich, London leaving £176,977  11s 10d, so quite a wealthy man.

ADDED: Found him in 1881, he was the son of George Musgrave and MARY MUSGRAVE who was born 1840 in Maryport, Cumberland. She was Hamilton's sister, so George was his nephew.

Thank you very much groom and Geoff-E for your replies, really appreciate it.
Yes, that's the Hamilton White, Music Master who I was looking for, I didn't realise he eventually had moved to Nottinghamshire.
Kind regards
