Hi. I'm not related to this family.I can't really help you with descendants of George MacNeil & Mary Marcotti, but maybe I can help you with the Marcotti Ancestry.
You wrote:
Wife Mary Agnes Marcotti
Born 9 Aug 1878 Chichester, Pontiac, Ontario
Died 1957 Espanola, Ontario
Father Theophile Marcotti ( - ) Mother Doran Retty ( - )
1) Pontiac County is in Quebec, so possibly Mary Agnes Marcotte was born in Quebec, or her family was from that area.Here is a marriage for her parents from the Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967:
Theophile Marcotte (Ambroise Marcotte & Felicite B? of Riviere-du-Loup)
m.31 Jan 1849 Chapeau (St-Alphonse), Ile-Aux-Allumettes, Pontiac County, Quebec
Dora Reddy (Peter Reddy & Catharine Carrel of Allumette Island)
This might be Theophile's baptism:
Antoine Theophile Marcotte, b. 25 Oct, bap 25 Oct 1819Louiseville ( St-Antoine-de-Riviere-du-Loup), Maskinonge County, Quebec, son of Ambroise Marcotte & Felicite Bergeron.
This appears to be the family in 1861:

This is probably the family in 1881. Mary is most likely your Mary Agnes:
