The Goudies

In the city directories 1940 · five people at four addresses

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

The addresses are in Dunbar-Southlands, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Kitsilano and Oakridge. 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 R F Goudie at 1005 East King Edward Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Robert F Goudie there as the householder, who worked for the National Harbours Board. In 1940 the directory lists J S Goudie at 2215 West 1st Avenue. The 1940 name section lists John S Goudie there as the householder, a winchman at the Union Steamship Company.

In 1940 the directory lists W C Goudie at 1355 West 46th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists William C Goudie there as the householder, a president at Granville Stock & Bond Corp, with Doug C Goudie, a student. In 1940 the directory lists St C C Goudie at 3273 West King Edward 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 St Clair C Goudie there as the householder, a bill delivery at the BC Electric Railway.

Today

1005 East King Edward, 1355 West 46th and 3273 West King Edward still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 2215 West 1st, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

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.
