The Honeymans

In the city directories 1940 · six people at four addresses

The directories print six people named Honeyman at four addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Honeymans at 3863 West 18th in 1940.

Where the Honeymans lived

Each pin is on its own block, numbered as the households below. One address isn't on today's map, so it has no pin. Today's land, parks, main roads and local areas: City of Vancouver Open Data (Open Government Licence – Vancouver).

What they did

The name section prints a trade for three of the six: an agent, a saleswoman and a telephone operator. Three are widows, listed under their own names.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Arbutus Ridge (2), Dunbar-Southlands and Mount Pleasant. 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 A Honeyman at 5655 Mackenzie Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Andrew Honeyman there as the householder, an agent at the Shell Oil Service Station. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M H Honeyman at 5348 Vine Street. The 1940 name section lists Mabel H Honeyman there as the householder, a widow.

The 1940 name section lists Cath Honeyman at 115 West 10th Avenue, widow of R. Mrs I Honeyman is listed at 3863 West 18th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Isabella Honeyman there as the householder, widow of J R, with Greta I Honeyman, a saleswoman at News-Herald, and Sadie W Honeyman, a telephone operator at Woodward's.

Today

115 West 10th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1905 by the City's record and on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3863 West 18th (1996) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 5655 Mackenzie and 5348 Vine, 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.
