Where the Cloughs lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

In 1940 the directory lists J R Clough at 1225 East 60th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark).

Today

1161 Granville, 3803 West 19th and 1455 West 8th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1161 Granville and 1455 West 8th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1225 East 60th (1968) and 3838 West 35th (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1063 Barclay, 1669 East 2nd, 344 East 5th, 54 West 7th, 1426 West 8th and 5431 Yew, 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.
