Vancouver / Names / I / Ide

A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Ides

In the city directories 1940 · ten people at three addresses

The directories print ten people named Ide at three 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: six Ides at 4695 McHardy in 1940.

Where the Ides 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 ten: an interpreter, a proprietor and a saleswoman. Two of them worked for Glenburn Florist.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland, Renfrew-Collingwood and Strathcona. 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 T Ide at 1618 East 8th 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Tadasu Ide there as the householder, an interpreter, with Edward R Ide and Lily R Ide. In 1940 the directory lists R Ide at 4695 McHardy Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Rokutaro Ide there as the householder, proprietor of Glenburn Florist, with Chie Ide, a saleswoman at Glenburn Florist, Jin Ide, Joseph Ide, Michi Ide, a student, and Teiko Ide.

In 1940 the directory lists T Ide, an interpreter, at 231 Powell Street.

Today

1618 East 8th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1921 by the City's record and on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 4695 McHardy and 231 Powell, 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 I. Want a name removed? Tell us.
