A family name on East Hastings Street, Strathcona, Downtown, Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise
The Davieses
In the city directories 1940 · six people at three addresses
The directories print six people named Davies at three addresses in 1940, all on East Hastings Street, with the close spelling Davis. 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 Davieses at 2356 East Hastings in 1940. The directories print the name on 176 other streets too, all listed on the Davies name's own page.

Today
160 East Hastings still has its building from before 1946, dated 1913 by the City's record; 41 East Hastings (2017) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2356 East Hastings, so that building is 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 D. Want a name removed? Tell us.
