Looks like the age for George Jr is wrong on the shipping manifest as he can be found with Alice in 1911, aged 6:

MARTIN, GEORGE ARTHUR   BAINES  1904  S Quarter in TYNEMOUTH  Volume 10B  Page 224 


MORGAN: Glamorgan, Durham, Ohio. DAVIS/DAVIES/DAVID: Glamorgan, Ohio.  GIBSON: Leicestershire, Durham, North Yorkshire.  RAIN/RAINE: Cumberland.  TAYLOR: North Yorks. BOURDAS: North Yorks. JEFFREYS: Worcestershire & Northumberland. FORBES: Berwickshire, CHEESMOND: Durham/Northumberland. WINTER: Durham/Northumberland. SNOWBALL: Durham.

Does anyone see a death for George in BC?

There's that one in Prince Rupert but that's a bit of a stretch.

No, I was looking last night but couldn't find anything. 

I did see an apparent 1905 baptism for a George Arthur Martin in Notre-Dame, Quebec though, son of Alside (?) & George, but unfortunately my French is non-existent.  Seems quite a coincidence but he didn't arrive until 1912 so without a translation I'm not sure.

Thank you all so much for your input, I can't believe I'm finally getting somewhere with this mystery.

In theory your George then may have died between 1911 and 1921
unless of course Alice has no idea where he went

Some interesting information on the T Harry Guy named by Alice as her contact in BC:

http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/story/12735/

Added: His Canadian service record shows he had arranged for Alice to receive $10/month from his pay.  Not sure that proves anything, although her various addresses are given:
