The Gauleys

In the city directories 1940 · four people at three addresses

The directories print four people named Gauley at three addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for two of the four: an accountant and a maid.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Dunbar-Southlands, Fairview and Shaughnessy. 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 Ada Gauley at 4649 Oak Street, a maid for A Forshaw. A J Gauley is listed at 3813 West 18th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Alonzo J Gauley there as the householder, an accountant, with Gordon W Gauley. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Jean Galey at 1230 West Broadway.

Today

4649 Oak and 3813 West 18th still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 1230 West Broadway, 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.
