In 1910, the couple was living with her mother, Margaret Keough, and her sister Catherine O'Neill, in Boston. There is a 1920 census record for a Geo. H. Macdonald and his wife Mary A., both born in PEI at the right time, living in Boston. They don't seem to have had any children.

In 1940, George and Mary were still in Boston, where he had an awning business.
