George Malla 44

I made him a tree on Ancestry, I will keeping working on it, there was a hint that popped up that might be him, but then why did he say he was born in Florida on the 1940 census?? Was he lying??? Or maybe he wasn't there and they told the census taker they thought he was born in Florida, we all know how census records work not 100% accurate.

Hint I found:

Name George Mallia
Birth abt 1898 Malta
Marriage 22 Aug 1925 Detroit, Michigan, USA
Residence Detroit, Michigan
Spouse Bessie Barberio
Father Filomeno Mallia

Mother Mary Spileri

He seems a gangster type to me, I am sure he received a lengthy sentence for assaulting the cop.
