Trca - Arthur and Mary family - 1940
Collector/curator's description reads: “Circa 1940, Vancouver. Photo of the Trca family Arthur and Mary (nee Shorrock) and their two eldest children: Dave (left) and Gordon (on mother's lap). Arthur was originally from Bohemia, an area in the Czech Republic. His wife Mary was of Scottish descent. They would have five children together, but had a very tumultuous marriage. Eventually Mary would leave the marriage. Unable to care for five children, Arthur places the children in an orphanage for a time.”
Collector/curator's description reads: “Circa 1945, Vancouver. Photo of the Trca children (l to r: David, Gordon, Roy, John and Joan). Their father, Arthur Trca, had immigrated from Bohemia, an area in the present-day Czech Republic, and lived for a time at the New World Hotel. He married a Scottish woman named Mary Shorrock. Although all smiles in this photo, family life was anything but easy. Their parents had a tempestuous relationship and, one day, their mother left. Their father, who was a longshoreman, struggled to raise the children and eventually placed them in orphanages. Years later, three of the boys would go on to become longshoreman too.”
