The Clarks

In the city directories 1940 · 15 people at eight addresses

The directories print 15 people named Clark at eight addresses in 1940, all on West 10th Avenue, 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 3160 West 10th 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 Point Grey (4), Kitsilano (2), Fairview and Mount Pleasant. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

A Clark is listed at 955 West 10th Avenue in 1940; 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 Angus Clark there as the householder, retired.

Mrs E Clarke is listed at 1885 West 10th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Elspeth Clark there as the householder, widow of E, with Mary E Clark, a school teacher. Mrs F Clarke is listed at 3160 West 10th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Frances Clarke there as the householder, widow of G H, with Florence E Clarke, a school teacher, H Mabel Clarke, and Irene Clarke, a stenographer.

Dr W B Clarke is listed at 4070 West 10th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too.

Today

3160 West 10th and 4070 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946; 955 West 10th (1953) and 4148 West 10th (2013) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 445 West 10th, 1885 West 10th, 4315 West 10th and 4451 West 10th, 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.
