In 1887, George Dodd, 18, arrived at Quebec, Canada, along with a group of 46 children en route to Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

Annie MacPherson reported that George was employed on a farm near Wolverhampton, Stratford, Ontario, Canada, for several years, but lost employment due to the death of his employer. His mother was reported to be a widow and a good Baptist. George was also reported to have worked for Israel Casselman, whose farm was close to Stratford.

George Dodd married Catherine Helen Haines, daughter of James Haines and Mary J. Englehart, in Ontario, Canada, about 1890.

In 1891, George Dodd, 23, labourer, is shown residing at the home of J. E. Whittaker, 68, patent medicine maker, in Ingersoll, Oxford South, Ontario, Canada, along with his wife, Catherine Dodd, 21, and newborn son, Joseph Dodd.

In 1901, George Dodd, 33, labourer, was shown residing at Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, along with his wife, Catherine Dodd, 30, and children, Henry J(oseph) Dodd, 9, and Alfred T. Dodd, 8. George's date of birth is shown as May 5 1867 and his immigration year as 1877.

In 1911, George Dodd, 43, machinist, was shown residing at Oxford East, Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, along with his wife Catherine Dodd, 39, and children, Joseph Dodd, 21, operator, and Alfred Dodd, 18, machinist. Also residing in the home was a lodger, Ely (Eli) Neaves, 32, painter. George's date of birth is shown as May 1868 and his immigration year as 1888.

George Dodd, machinist, died on September 4, 1921, at the age of 53, of pneumonia complicated by lateral sclerosis. He was buried in a cemetery in Ingersoll Rural, Ontario, Canada. His oldest son, Joseph Henry Dodd died earlier that year (April 4, 1921) of enteritis.
