Canada Voters List 1940 and 1974 shows the couple living at 153 McAnulty Blvd - Hamilton East Ontario. George is retired by that point.

When Margaret Cordiner immigrated to Canada 5 October 1929 on the Melita - Margaret was 33 years and travelled with son George only 9 months old and a daughter Maggie 4 years -
Sandra
According to one of the ancestry tre's - the couple appear to have one son and one daughter.

Sandra does it say what George worked at? Knew they were buried at Eastlawn but didn't have Headstone so 2 children so far!!!
-
Yes, looks like just one of each.
Canada Voters List 1940 gave George Cordiner (engineer) and Mrs George Cordiner. 153 McNulty Bvld. Hamilton.
In 1945 a foreman. 1957/58 operator. (always same address)

Probably another son celebrated 50th wedding anniversary in 2009 Hamilton. Search for Cordiner here: http://www.lifenews.ca/publication/hamiltonspectator

Looks like another Cordiner in Hamilton or maybe one of the brothers families ? Just wondered what happened to George & Margaret they would be in their 80s now
-
Looking at a George and Irene Cordiner who lived in Hamilton and wondered if he could be the George Cordiner Jnr. Although nothing else is forth coming on that couple at the mo.
Not sure the 50 th wedding anniversary above can be attributed to your Cordiner family.

Any male married in 1959 was very likely born before 1938. Margaret Wood Strachan b 1896 could certainly still be bearing children well into the 1930's.

We have covered this before - George Cordiner Snr and his wife Maggie Ann are buried Eastlawn Cemetery.
CORDINER, Maggie Ann Eastlawn Wentworth Hamilton HM-226
CORDINER, George Eastlawn Wentworth Hamilton HM-226
The George and Irene I mentioned seem to be buried in the same area - so this could very well be the son who was listed on the 1929 passenger list for the Melita.
CORDINER, George Eastlawn Wentworth Hamilton HM-227
CORDINER, Irene Eastlawn Wentworth Hamilton HM-227
Food for thought.

Looks like it could be the son George but until we get evidence of marriage etc can't presume its them
must have lived in area most of their lives where else can we look?

Found an article in the Toronto Star of interest -- dated September 23, 1946:
Mrs. Charles B. Woods and David K. Aiken of Hamilton are in St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto, following an accident on the Sheridan Hill, Queen Elizabeth Way. The car of George Cordiner, Hamilton, travelling west, pulled up by the boulevard, due to the dense fog. The car driven by Charles D. Woods, 21, came into collision with it. W. Aiken and Mrs. Woods were thrown out of the Woods car. The infant of Mr. & Mrs. Woods was uninjured.
