A family name on Charles Street, Grandview-Woodland, Strathcona and Hastings-Sunrise
The Harts
In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses
The directories print two people named Hart at two addresses in 1940, all on Charles Street, with the close spelling Hartt. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 45 other streets too, all listed on the Hart name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists F Hart at 1738 Charles 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 Frederick Hart there as the householder, a clerk at the Workmen's Compensation Board. In March 1923 W J Hart took out the permit to build a house at 2752 Charles Street. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M Hart at 2752 Charles Street; the 1940 line is marked * too.
Today
1738 Charles and 2752 Charles still have their buildings from before 1946.

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.
