A family name on Haro Street, West End

The Campbells

In the city directories 1940 · seven people at five addresses

The directories print seven people named Campbell at five addresses in 1940, all on Haro Street. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Campbells at 1045 Haro in 1940. The directories print the name on 204 other streets too, all listed on the Campbell name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mrs Madeline Campbell at 1023 Haro Street, a cashier at Scott's Cafe. The 1940 name section lists Gertrude Campbell at 1042 Haro Street, a maid for A Latham. In 1940 the directory lists Miss M J Campbell at 1045 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Margaret J Campbell there as the householder, with Elizabeth Campbell.

The 1940 name section lists Mrs Agnes W Campbell at 1906 Haro Street, a saleswoman for Mrs E A Carrothers. D G Campbell is listed at 1915 Haro Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Duncan G Campbell there as the householder, a foreman at Signkraft.

Today

1906 Haro and 1915 Haro still have their buildings from before 1946; 1045 Haro (1980) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1023 Haro and 1042 Haro, 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 C. Want a name removed? Tell us.
