These figures are taken from the census indexes, not the actual census returns, so include transcription errors made by the enumerators on the night of the census as well as by the transcribers when compiling the indexes. some of these are Vickrey, Vickry, Vicory, Vickury, Vicorry, Viccari and Vicari.
By comparison the US census has the following

The process of gathering data is ongoing and if you have not yet written or emailed me with your own ancestral details I would be extremely interested in hearing from you and to receive all the VICARY and/or VICKERY information that you have. If I make a connection I will of course write and let you know.
