Vancouver / Names / G / Galloway / East 11th Avenue

A family name on East 11th Avenue, Mount Pleasant, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Renfrew-Collingwood

The Galloways

In the city directories 1940 · five people at two addresses

The directories print five people named Galloway at two addresses in 1940, all on East 11th Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Galloways at 1830 East 11th in 1940. The directories print the name on 33 other streets too, all listed on the Galloway name's own page.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for all five: a cashier (2), a baker, a clerk and a president. Three of them worked for Spencer's.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kensington-Cedar Cottage (2). 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

In 1940 the directory lists C Galloway at 1437 East 11th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Charles Galloway there as the householder, a president at Phon-O-Matic Co Ltd. In 1940 the directory lists D Galloway at 1830 East 11th 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). The 1940 name section lists David Galloway there as the householder, a baker at Canadian Bakeries, with Agnes Galloway, a cashier at Spencer's, Margaret Galloway, a cashier at Spencer's, and Martha A Galloway, a clerk at Spencer's.

Today

1437 East 11th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1911 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1830 East 11th, 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 G. Want a name removed? Tell us.
