The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists W Cadwallader at 2147 East 36th Avenue; 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 Wilfred Cadwallader there as the householder, a carrier driver at Canadian White Pine. In 1940 the directory lists T H Cadwallader at 5655 Kerr Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Thomas H Cadwallader there as the householder, a carpenter.

Today

2147 East 36th and 5655 Kerr still have their buildings from before 1946.

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 C. Want a name removed? Tell us.
