The Faulkeses

In the city directories 1940 · twelve people at seven addresses

The directories print twelve people named Faulkes at seven addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spelling Faulks. 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 Faulkeses at 3676 West 37th in 1940.

Today

4341 Dunbar and 3550 West 31st still have their buildings from before 1946; 6451 Quebec (2009), 362 West 17th (2012), 3725 West 36th (2002) and 3676 West 37th (2015) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 4037 West 20th, 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 F. Want a name removed? Tell us.
