In the city directories 1940 · two people at two addresses

What they did
The name section prints a trade for all two: a pantryman (2). Two of them worked for Georgia Hotel.
Their neighbourhoods
The addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise and West End. 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
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Rudolph Heuchert at 1164 Pacific Street, a pantryman at the Georgia Hotel. J Heuchert is listed at 2583 William Street in 1940; 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 John Heuchert there as the householder, a pantryman at the Georgia Hotel.
Today
2583 William still has its building from before 1946, dated 1931 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1164 Pacific, 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.
