A family name on Welwyn Street, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
The Bradleys
In the city directories 1940 · four people at two addresses
The directories print four people named Bradley at two addresses in 1940, all on Welwyn Street. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Bradleys at 4122 Welwyn in 1940. The directories print the name on 47 other streets too, all listed on the Bradley name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists F W Bradley at 4122 Welwyn Street; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Fred W Bradley there as the householder, a warehouseman at Continental Fruit, with George N Bradley, who worked for Pressed Metal Products, and Kathleen M Bradley, a domestic. In 1940 the directory lists W W Bradley at 4293 Welwyn Street. The 1940 name section lists Warren W Bradley there as the householder.
Today
4122 Welwyn (1971) and 4293 Welwyn (1999) have newer buildings, by the City's record.

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.
