Several Family Trees on Ancestry.ca indicated George Sr died in 1838 in Scotland. I have seen others that indicate England.
By the same token, even more people on Ancestry.ca indicate the 1844 death date in Canada.
Until someone comes up with solid evidence to support either death year and place, I'm afraid we can only speculate.
Personally, I haven't got a clue and would appreciate anyone with solid evidence to please come forward.

I have no new sources for information, but considering his son died 1844 for in Canada, and how often his sons records get confused with his and how much coincidence it would be to die in same year as son, I must say the evidence for a 1838 death seems very compelling!
As a side note I believe George is my 5th great grandfather from two slightly different paths.
