There's a lengthy article in the Rochester NY Democratic Chronicle, 1894 about the death of George. It's very difficult to read.

Just type in Malcolm McFiggin it's the only one that comes up.

Ok thanks for that, do you have any tips for finding the information, maybe they weren't married,
Do they have birth records that state mothers name that are accessible?
