Thomas joined the Canadian Expediitonary Force for WWI as a Lt. and was missing in action. The St. Thomas-Times Journal indexing project has an entry for this but unfortunately the links are not working.
www.collectionscanada.ca has a link to military files.
Thos Haldane Wickett travelled to the U.S. in 1941 and his border crossing shows an address of 94 Lawton Blvd Toronto
A brief entry in the Sierra magazine shows his death in Feb. 2001.
Pages of the Past - paysite for the Toronto Star would probably give you more information on the members of this family who remained in Toronto.

Francis Joseph Pearcy, 27 Druggist, married Susan Beale 5 Aug 1891 at Toronto.
On the 1901 census they are living with Susan's parents, Franis and Maria Beale. ancestry has then inexed as Deacy. Susan was born Apr 24, 1868. Daughters Laura Gertrude b. 8 Oct 1892 and Hazel Beatrice 15 May 1894.
On the 1911 census Susan is living in Ward 2 Toronto South, 705(?) King St. E. The surname is not distinquisable and ancestry just shows the first name. She is living with daughters Laura and Hazel and her status is widow. I can't find a death for Francis/Frank
