Just a quick look around for possibilities and I came across the
following names:

Niclory, Wickery, Wickary, Widary, Hictory, Hiclory, Hidory, Hickory,
Vikry, Niclorg, and McTory.

Of course some of these are names in their own right too, including the
last one. I didn't check all of these to see if they really should be
Victory except for the last one where I did find one incidence of a
McTory family who should have been Victory. From there you can also try
McTary, etc. Also remember that when searching for a name that starts
with Mc, try it with no space after and one space after. You'll find it
both ways.
