A family name in Vancouver's city directories
The Hakes
In the city directories 1940 · four people at two addresses
The directories print four people named Hake at two addresses in 1940 in two of the city's neighbourhoods. 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: three Hakes at 6559 Fleming in 1940.

What they did
The name section prints a trade for two of the four: a laborer and a millworker. One is a widow, listed under her own name.
Their neighbourhoods
The addresses are in Downtown and Victoria-Fraserview. 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 Mrs E H Hake at 6559 Fleming 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). The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Elizabeth H Hake there as the householder, widow of F, with Francis F F Hake, a millworker at BC Plywoods, and Joffre Hake, a laborer at BC Sugar. In 1940 the directory lists S Hake at 810 Richards Street. The 1940 name section lists Sam Hake there as the householder, of Coast Transfer.
Today
6559 Fleming (2005) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 810 Richards, 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 H. Want a name removed? Tell us.
