A family name in Vancouver's city directories
The Heaneys
In the city directories 1940 · 15 people at ten addresses
The directories print 15 people named Heaney at ten addresses in 1940 in six of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spellings Haney and Heney. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Heaneys at 335 West 14th in 1940.

Today
1004 Douglas Crescent, 808 East 14th, 1226 Granville, 1222 Melville, 335 West 14th and 801 West Georgia still have their buildings from before 1946, 801 West Georgia on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 1008 Connaught Drive (2009) and 5372 McHardy (2006) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1700 Barclay and 4130 West 13th, so those buildings are 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.
