About George Dhu

The phonetic spelling of Dhu/Due/Dew was obviously recorded by different people at different times.

Similarly, Frances was spelt Francis at times, and Leita was also Letta and Lita.

...

The family name could have been Dew.

When brother Charles Dhu died, Henry and George Dhu mentioned in obituary:
