Hello,
Thank you all for your information.  Am always amazed at the great info. through Rootschat.  Arthur Terry (father of Arthur Norman Terry) was actually born in Woodchurch Kent, and died in Victoria British Columbia March 4 1964 aged 91 years as per death certificate.  The certificate also gives his only wife as Harriet Elizabeth nee Bishop who died 1932.
Arthur Norman died in 1994 aged 90 years. and is buried in the same plot as Anne Alicia Terry.  As per the Westcoast Logger article he was a timberman.  It is interesting to get the voter list information, thank you. As I write this another post has come in which makes it feasible there are two Arthur Norman Terry's. 
When a cousin found the marriage information of an Arthur Norman Terry to Lucy Hazel Gibson we wondered if it was a 1st marriage gone wrong.  The dates fit to him being in Vancouver at the time.  The marriage listing is Date 1934.04/07 Event Place Vancouver; Registration No. 1934-09-415423 B.C. Archives Mfilm No.B13767 - GSU Mfilm No 2135986 Event Type Marriage.  To date I have not been able to access the actual marriage certificate.  He was born in Ware Hertfordshire England in the 1st qtr of 1904; his parents were Arthur Terry, an accountant and his mother Harriet Elizabeth Terry nee Bishop.  Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate such and hope I may be able to contribute to someones information in future.
Cheers

Thank you Susan.  Your help has been invaluable.  Have taken the lead of sami and looked at the 1944 city directory which shows the 2 AN Terry's and their wives as Anne and Lucille.  Would be wonderful to get absolute verification. 
Cheers

No additional information on the marriage(s?) happening, but this is a short blurb on the life and that he appears to mostly go by Norman....

Norman Terry - Forester

There are many possibilities in the early directories, and the marriage registration may clear things up or muddle them further!

Thank you cccarson,
Yes, you have just reminded me he did seem to prefer being Norman, as per the article from Westcoast Logger.  Might have been something to distinguish him from his father who was also Arthur, without a second name.  I looked up some of the voter lists and have concluded he was only married once and Lucille was married to another Arthur Norman Terry, also living in Vancouver.  It also seems he did not have children.  From the newspaper articles it sounds he was well respected and made a large contribution to the BC forestry industry.  Thank you for the article - much appreciated.  The information from everyone has been wonderful and I now have a concluded picture of ANT.
