| Notes |
- George is listed in the 1911 Census as a 7-year-old living with his parents in Londonderry. George married Mary (Molly) McDaid in Belfast in 1928 and they immediately emigrated to the Chicago area in 1928. They lived in Chicago for many years and had three children there. In the 1930 US Census he is listed as living in Chicago where he probably worked in the automobile industry. George and Molly retired to Florida and both are buried there.
After they were married in Belfast, Northern Ireland, George and his wife Molly immigrated to America. They appear to have arrived in New York aboard the liner "Transylvania" on April 17th 1928. They lived for a time in Chicago, Illinois.
According to Michael Higgins, who lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this was the classic situation of a Catholic marrying a Presbyterian in the middle 1920's and they both would have been under dreadful pressure to leave, which they did. They married in a registry office in Belfast. When they arrived in Chicago, they apparently went through a religious ceremony, probably Catholic, and it is possible that a Father McDaid (a relative of Mary's), possibly based the Omaha Nebraska, performed the religious marriage.
