Henry Guy Vickers was a building contractor. He lived at 1180 Denman Street in 1915.
Family Background
Henry Guy Vickers was born in Nottingham, England, in 1886. His parents were John Henry Vickers (1859-1932) and Adeliza Morrow (1855-1915). John Henry Vickers was a building contractor in England and in Vancouver.
John and Adeliza were married in Liverpool, England on April 17, 1884.
Several family members moved to Canada in 1908. By 1911, the Vickers family was living at 361 West Seventh Avenue in Vancouver.
Adeliza Vickers died in Vancouver on July 6, 1915.
John Vickers later lived in California with his daughter, Violet. He died in San Francisco on May 4, 1932.
Marriage to Louise Gertrude Murphy
On September 1, 1914, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Henry married Louise Gertrude Murphy (sometimes called “Louise” and sometimes “Gertrude.”) She was born in Vancouver on April 25, 1892. Her parents were Joshua Rodgington Murphy (1861-1920) and Elizabeth Ann Dolby (1871-1956).
Death
Henry died in Vancouver on April 20, 1917. He was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Louise: Later Life
It appears that Louise lived in the 1920s with Arthur Guy Carless (1886–1955). (There is no evidence that they were actually married.) They had a son, Ronald (1921–1994).
It appears that this relationship ended in the 1920s. Louise continued to live in England.
In 1939, she was living with Percy Thomas Oscar Boult (1888-1953). (Louise was known as “Mrs. Boult” at this time, even though she and Percy were not yet married.)
In 1947, in Worcester, England, she married Percy Boult.
Louise died in Oswestry, Shropshire, on November 1, 1963. The executor or administrator of her estate was Joseph Ronald Carless, who was probably her son with Arthur Carless.
Henry Vickers and Louise had a son.
John Henry Vickers
John Vickers was born in Vancouver about 1915. Sometime after his father died in 1917, John and his mother went to live in Birmingham, England.
John went to Solihull School in England. He joined the Royal Air Force about 1932.
In July 1939, in Hull, England, John married Peggy Jeffrey. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jeffrey, of Hull.
John went to France at the beginning of the Second World War. While serving as an observer on a British reconnaissance bomber over Germany, he was seriously wounded. He continued to navigate the bomber and he helped the pilot to land safely in French territory.
While John was in hospital for his wounds, he received the Medaile Militaire from the French government. He died on October 5, 1939, and he was buried in Choloy War Cemetery in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France.

The architect was listed as Kennerley Bryan, and the developer B T Rogers, the American sugar baron who ran the Vancouver sugar refinery and also developed the city’s first up-scale ’boutique hotel’.
