Terry Family - British Columbia

[bkr188]

Hello,
I am researching the family of Arthur and Harriet Elizabeth Terry who immigrated from England, arriving in Montreal 1907.  They moved to British Columbia and died in Victoria BC.  I have their death certificates and an article from the Westcoast Logger written in 1991 about their son, Arthur Norman Terry, plus the Find a Grave information on Arthur Norman Terry and his wife Ann Alicia Terry. 
BC Archives have a Arthur Norman Terry married to Lucy Hazel Gibson in 1934.  My questions.  Is this the same Arthur Norman Terry with two marriages?  Did Arthur Norman have any children or siblings?  Any help much appreciated.

I found Arthur Norman and his wife on the Canada Voters List for Vancouver South 1954 He and his wife are living in Olympic Street and next to his name it says BC. Service (forest).
The bad news is that his wife is down as Mrs Arthur Norman Terry!!

Living in the same street is a Harry J C Terry manager steamships and his wife Mrs Francis Terry.
A possible son?

Harriet died in 1932? Could it be Arthur senior marrying Hazel Gibson (Not Lucy on the record) in 1834 although the groom is listed as Arthur Norman. I can't see a death for a Hazel or Lucy Gibson but there is this
Anne Alicia Terry
Birth Year - abt 1902
Age at death 83
Died 2 May 1985
Death Location - University Endowment
Registration number: 1985-09-008093

I am hoping to get to the family history society library to do some BMD lookups this week.  I can check the marriage registration for Arthur Norman Terry and Lucy Hazel Gibson if you like.

The article referred to in the first post.  It mentions Arthur meeting his wife, Anne Alicia Crawford, and their eventual marriage 11 years later but there is no mention of a first wife.

There was a Norman Terry married to a Lucy on the voters lists - his job was accountant.

Hi

The Harry J.C. Terry who was married to Frances was born in Australia and is the son of Henry Terry and Clara Campbell. 

Hopefully this link will take you to a copy of their marriage registration

Is your Arthur from Australia by any chance?

Hi - not sure if you cleared up whether your Arthur Norman Terry had two marriages or not.

I checked through some of the Vancouver City Directories that are available to search online in the Genealogy Section of the Vancouver Public Library.

http://www.vpl.ca/bccd/index.php/browse/index

There are 2 Arthur N Terry's listed in the 1944 city directory.
- A. Norman (Anne) log scaler BC Govt 5762 Olympic and
- Arth N (Lucille) hlpr WCS 5556 Joyce.

The second Arthur N Terry lived for most of the 1930's with Ada (widowed/possibly his mother) and Robt M Terry at 1647 E 41st Ave. Lucy H appears with him in 1935.

Hope that helps.
