George Formby was born in, Wigan, Lancashire,England, as George Hoy Booth, the eldest of seven surviving children (four girls and three boys).

His father, not wishing him even to watch his performances, moved the family to Atherton Road in Hindley (near Wigan) and it was from there that Formby was apprenticed as a jockey when he was seven and rode his first professional race at ten when he weighed under four stone (56 pounds, 25.4 kg).
