The Baileys

In the city directories 1940 · three people at three addresses

The directories print three people named Bailey at three addresses in 1940, all on West 13th Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 74 other streets too, all listed on the Bailey name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Ina Bailey at 756 West 13th Avenue. R J Bailey is listed at 1485 West 13th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Robert J Bailey there as the householder, a division manager at Beatty Bros.

E A Bailey is listed at 1584 West 13th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Edgar A Bailey there as the householder.

Today

1485 West 13th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1939 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 756 West 13th and 1584 West 13th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources

Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under B. Want a name removed? Tell us.
