The Clarks
In the city directories 1940 · four people at four addresses
The directories print four people named Clark at four addresses in 1940, all on Heather 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 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 Connie Clark at 3065 Heather Street, a dietitian at the Vancouver General Hospital. K G Clark is listed at 3283 Heather Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Ken G Clark there as the householder, a millworker at Alberta Lumber.

Today
3065 Heather (1991) and 7837 Heather (1965) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 3283 Heather and 7806 Heather, 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.
