Thank you for your very quick efforts. Cora-Ann, you hit the nail on the head. George did marry Lizzie Mccullagh. She came to Canada ( Doon village near Kitchener) around 1915. I can't believe how so many people have the same name. There are so many George's, and Elizabeth's on both sides of the family.
All the best to you. Linda.
