George Thomas Vicary b.1913 RCAF d.1943. Toronto

GRO has Olive's birth in 1909 - MMN Thorne.  Up to 1915 on the GRO, just seeing George with MMN Thorne.

Switching to Free BMD
Only one more Vicary with MMN Thorne... in 1934, Wellington Som.  I think, from your initial post, that Fred, Rose, George and Olive were in Toronto in 1934??

George was born 2nd November 1913 in Chittlehampton, Devon, England and travelled on the SS Antonia with his mother/siblings to join his father in Toronto in 1923, where the family remained.

I was looking for more siblings.  I can only find Olive... she was the only one listed in the memorial notice in the paper, and I don't see any more births in the UK pre 1923.  Do you have information about another sibling?  You said "siblings" in your initial post.

Thank you very much for the info and the pm info.  It is only one sibling from the ship's record of 1923 and that is Olive, his siter and his mother.  Thorne appears to be his mother's surname as on the Reg Cert of Death it shows as Thorne Rose Clifford so not sure if it is her maiden name?
Thank you again for all your help!

You are welcome... hope you have some leads now and can track down a photo

Yes, Thorne was Rose's maiden name.  The GRO birth index shows Thorne as the mother's maiden name for both Olive and George.   Her full name is Rose Clifford Thorne - her birth is registered in the first quarter of 1882 in Barnstaple. 

If you can't find anything through the Toronto Schools or through Olive's step children, perhaps you should take a look at Rose and Fred's siblings and the children of those siblings.  You never know who is the "keeper of the family history information"!!  Perhaps one of George's cousins has a family album??   Making contact with the extended family may be another avenue for you to try??

The only tree I have found with him in online does not have a photo of him having contacted the tree owner.

I see that there are a few Ancestry trees that mention Rose and/or Fred.  The public ones don't have any of their children listed, but some have Rose's siblings and some have Fred's siblings.  Might be useful if you have to extend your search.  There is one private tree that mentions George Thomas Vicary -- perhaps this is the one you have already investigated.  If not, it might be worth a look.

Thank you!  Yes, it was the private tree I messaged, will try some of the public ones.

I thought I would get back to you to let you know that George Vicary has been found but his surname is listed as 'Vicry' in the Files of the War Dead!  I now have his Attestation Paper but still no photo!
I have looked for Cassidy trees with no success to date.
I have had no success with tree contacts re Vicary/Thorne but will keep trying!

George not found on this incomplete, but worthy effort to locate and transcribe all Toronto school memorials    http://torontofamilyhistory.org/kingandcountry/

George VICARRY was listed with his parents in the 1935 Voters List at 399 Main St Toronto.  He was listed as a student, so, given his age, maybe U of T, Ryerson or York.

Thank you for your reply.  I am trying to track down a photo of him so will keep trying the various suggestions of contacts.  Is that another spelling of his surname with the double r?  If so another to put into search engines, thank you.
