Janet Wright, an English freelance journalist, wrote to an English history and genealogy message board in 2002 that she is the granddaughter of Lyle Vickers, who was the brother of Roy Vickers. She believes that "they seem to have been part of a very squabbling family" and that Lyle and Roy "were disinherited: Granpa for being a gambler and Roy for marrying a Boer.".
