In 1881 George and Annie were living with a servant at Logan Terrace, South Shields, Durham. George had retired as the Chief Officer of Police.

Ten years later the pair no longer had a servant, and were staying at 35 Albany Villas, Hove, Sussex. He was listed as a Major (retired) Chief of Hove Police.

He must have either been running out of money or missing his job, because by 1901 he was working again as the Chief Constable. Still living in Hove, he and his wife were now at 68 Clarendon Villas. They had a general domestic servant again.

George wrote a handbook for the police. The Sussex Police Authority have it:

FILE - Town of Hove - ref. SPA/9/6/1 - date: 29 Aug 1894

Constable's hand-book compiled by Major G J Teevan, Chief Constable of Hove; submitted to and approved by the Police Committee
