What they did

The name section prints a trade for three of the six: a housekeeper, a piler and a steel worker. One is a widow, listed under her own name.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kensington-Cedar Cottage (2), Mount Pleasant and Renfrew-Collingwood. 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 Miss C P Hauge at 4412 Commercial Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Camilla P Hauge there as the householder. In 1940 the directory lists R S Hauge at 1855 East 37th 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 R Sten Hauge there as the householder, a piler at Canadian White Pine.

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M A Hauge at 5571 Melbourne Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Mary A Hauge there as the householder, widow of C J, with Mildred Hauge, a housekeeper for H Wilkinson. In 1940 the directory lists G C Hauge at 121 West 5th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists George C Hauge there as the householder, a steel worker.

Today

4412 Commercial still has its building from before 1946, dated 1910 by the City's record; 1855 East 37th (1999) and 5571 Melbourne (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 121 West 5th, 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.
