been unable to find any more information.

There's some information in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography about him:-
R. H. Legge, ‘Kiallmark, George (1781–1835)’, rev. Anne Pimlott Baker, first published
2004, 588 words.

However, I'm unable to access it, but here are some other snippets I have managed to find:-

Kiallmark, George, composer and violinist, born at King's Lynn, February, 1781;
baptized in March. He studied under Barthelemon, Spagnoletti, and Logier. Violinist
in various orchestras, and teacher. Leader at Sadler's Wells, London. Died, Islington,
March, 1835.

WorldCat gives his tally of compositions thus:- 426 works in 562 publications in 3 languages
and 725 library holdings

His son was also a composer:-

George Frederick Kiallmark (1804–1887), musician, studied under Kalkbrenner in Paris.
He gave his first concert at the King's Theatre (1822) and his piano-playing won
the commendation of Mendelssohn. He had an academy for the study of the piano at
29 Percy Street.

The University of North Carolina has Kiallmark senior's Danish Waltz with Variations:-

George jr appears to have been responsible for "The Old Oaken Bucket' (no pun intended, of course...)

...pronounced "Bouquet?"

One gets quite a good sense of the things George Kiallmark wrote
simply by looking at what's for sale at AbeBooks, although the prices
do seem rather high for what probably isn't particularly great music.

Here's a pdf of The Old Oaken Bucket by George Frederick Kiallmark:-

More Metra.

Diederich Krug's Z’nächst bin i halt gange, no11 from his Bunte Steine, Op.110. Alternate to the scan available on IMSLP. McKinley appears to have taken this from the original Weinholz plates.

Harold Freeman's Chimes of Westminster.

Carl Heins' Rosenfee Op185.

Metra: Le roi Gambrinus and La vague.

Thank you FW190. La Vague (the wave) was the most famous collection of waltzes by Olivier metra.

Jim Faston, many, many, many thanks for your fabulous scores, in nearly every thread of this forum.
