1901 Canadian Census records place George Sales as the adopted son of Ephream Wilson in Huntley, Carleton, Ontario. He was born in 1887 in England and carries no birth date.

In the 1901 English Census a widowed Mary A Sales (45) was in Warlingham, Surrey, England. Her children in residence were Emily R (12), Elizabeth J (10), Emma J (8), and Alexander W (6). Mary was a Laundress by trade.

13 Oct 1909 in Carleton County, there is a Marriage Record for George Sales and Annie Orgill. He states his mother's name was Mary Ann Sales, but did not know the name of his father.

1911 Canadian Census records place Annie and George Sales in Huntley, Carleton, Ontario. Annie states she was born in Jun 1890 and immigrated from England in 1900. George states he was born in Dec 1886 and immigrated from England in 1902. They have an 11 month old son named Walter A Sales. George is a labourer by occupation.

Attestation papers signed 29 Sep 1915 in Ottawa, Ontario. George sales was born 28 Feb 1888 in Warlingham, Surrey, England. His Next of Kin was Mrs. A. M. Sales, his wife from Kinburn, Ontario. 5' 7 1/2" in height with grey eyes and brown hair. His religion was listed as Church of England.

Commonwealth War Graves Registers confirms that George was Killed in Action. His Next of Kin was Mrs A. Sales c/o Home for Friendless, 37 Turner Street, Ottawa, Ontario. Circumstances of Casualty states he was last seen near Bourlon Village, Nord Pas de Calais, France, having been wounded and making his way back to a dressing station, his body was later recovered and buried at Quarry Wood Cemetery, Sains-les-Marquion, Nord Pas de Calais, France. Plot: II. C. 24.
Later in 1926 there is an additional address for Mrs. A Sales of 10560-107 Street, Edmonton, Alberta.

Alcohol and Temperance in Modern History: A Global Encyclopedia, edited by Jack S. Blocker, David M. Fahey, and Ian R. Tyrrel states that the Ottawa Home for Friendless Women was a place to rehabilitate alcoholics, prostitutes, and criminals. It focused on a link between alcohol and a lack of sexual morality, was operated by the Young Women's Christian Temperance Union and was headed by Frances Willard. The home became government funded in 1891. Despite being judgmental, the home had advance understanding as alcoholics being plagued by a disease and aided in dispelling myths about the impossibility of reforming 'fallen women'.
