A family name on Haro Street, West End

The Clarks

In the city directories 1940 · 13 people at eight addresses

The directories print 13 people named Clark at eight addresses in 1940, all on Haro 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: four Clarks at 1834 Haro in 1940. The directories print the name on 176 other streets too, all listed on the Clark name's own page.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in West End (8). Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists C P Clark at 1004 Haro Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists C Percy Clark there as the householder, a shoe shine, with Hazel Clark. In 1940 the directory lists E L Clarke, rooms to let, at 1033 Haro Street.

G P Clarke is listed at 1772 Haro Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Gregory P Clarke there as the householder. The 1940 name section lists Clark at 1788 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Harold L Clarke at 1833 Haro Street, a salesman at Safeway.

Mrs M Clark is listed at 1834 Haro Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Mildred Clark there as the householder, widow of R P, with Bruce C Clark, a clerk, Enid L Clark, a stenographer for Dr T H Lennie, and Reginald P Clark, a salesman at Western City. The 1940 name section lists B May Clark at 1906 Haro Street, widow of W A, with Frederick Clark.

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs J Clark at 1915 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Jean Clark there as the householder, widow of E S.

Today

1906 Haro and 1915 Haro still have their buildings from before 1946; 1033 Haro (1966) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1004 Haro, 1772 Haro, 1788 Haro, 1833 Haro and 1834 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.
