Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in West End (4), Kerrisdale (2), Grandview-Woodland, Hastings-Sunrise, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Kitsilano, Strathcona, Victoria-Fraserview and West Point Grey. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Ingrid Frederickson at 1144 Cardero Street, an elevator operator at Spencer's.

In 1940 the directory lists H T Frederickson at 6389 Elm Street; 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

1609 Nelson, 4476 Welwyn and 4473 West 7th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1609 Nelson on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 2212 East 45th (1964), 2676 East Pender (1959) and 6389 Elm (2008) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1144 Cardero, 1423 East 8th, 217 East Cordova, 1118 Haro, 1308 Haro, 2130 West 47th and 1834 West 8th, 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 F. Want a name removed? Tell us.
