A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Filippones

In the city directories 1940 · seven people at three addresses

The directories print seven people named Filippone at three addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spelling Filippin. 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 Filippones at 773 East Pender in 1940.

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.
