A family name on East Hastings Street, Strathcona, Downtown, Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise
The Clarks
In the city directories 1940 · nine people at seven addresses
The directories print nine people named Clark at seven addresses in 1940, all on East Hastings Street, with the close spelling Clarke. 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 Clarks at 2825 East Hastings in 1940. The directories print the name on 176 other streets too, all listed on the Clark name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mrs Emma Clark at 71 East Hastings Street, a waitress. The 1940 name section lists Mrs N Clarke at 456 East Hastings Street. In 1940 the directory lists A Clark at 707 East Hastings Street. The 1940 name section lists Antonio Clark there as the householder, proprietor of Hastings Cleaners.
In 1940 the directory lists T G Clark at 1421 East Hastings Street. The 1940 name section lists Thomas G Clark there as the householder, a shoe repairer. The 1940 name section lists William Clark at 1433 East Hastings Street, a millworker at Sterling Lumber. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Stella K Clarke at 1650 East Hastings Street.
In 1940 the directory lists J Clarke at 2825 East Hastings 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 lists Joseph Clarke there as the householder, a carpenter, with Fred Clarke, a helper at Advance Manufacturing, and Stan Clarke, a helper at Advanee Manufacturing.
Today
71 East Hastings and 456 East Hastings still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 707 East Hastings, 1421 East Hastings, 1433 East Hastings, 1650 East Hastings and 2825 East Hastings, 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.
