Not sure JDC went through the Canada Voters List entries individually but looking through Canada Voters Lists 1935 - 1974 doesn't really show a combination of George and Christina McKay. Many can be completely discounted.

Canada Voters List 1935 - Hamilton - George McKay and Mrs George McKay at 80 Mars

Canada Voters List 1940  - Hamilton - George McKay (night watchman) and Mrs George McKay at 59 Connaught Ave North.

Canada Voters List 1949 - Hamilton - George McKay - Watchman at 80 Mars Avenue - no other McKay at that address.

Canada Voters List 1953 - Hamilton - George McKay - (watchman) and Maude McKay - 326 Cope Street.

Canada Voters List 1958 - Hamilton - George McKay (watchman) and Maude McKay - 326 Cope Street.

Canada Voters List 1963 - Hamilton - George McKay (electrical engineer) and Gloria McKay - 24 Rendall Blvd.

Canada Voters List 1965 - Hamilton - George McKay (electrical engineer) and Gloria McKay - 24 Rendell Blvd.

Canada Voters List 1965 - Hamilton - George McKay - Retired - Maude McKay at 1919 Britannia Avenue.

Canada Voters List 1968 - Hamilton - George McKay - Retired - Maude McKay at 139 Winchester Blvd.

Canada Voters List 1968 - Hamilton - George McKay - Steel Worker -  Mrs George McKay - 61 Randall Ave West

Canada Voters List 1972 - Hamilton - George Russell McKay - Steel Worker and Doris Ruth Meat Packer - 23 Gibson Avenue.

Canada Voters List - 1974 - Hamilton - George McKay - steelworker and Mrs George McKay - 23 Gibson Ave.

Did find 1 Christina McKay listed Osborne Street Hamilton - 1968 BUT unfortunately husband was Alex McKay  ::)
In 1958 the same pair were at Springer Ave Hamilton.,  ::)

Can you tell us anything more about George McKay ?  Have you found this couple on a passenger list ?  Did they have any children in Scotland before they immigrated. ?  Any small detail might just help  ???
