Vancouver / Names / I / Ikeda

A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Ikedas

In the city directories 1940 · nine people at five addresses

The directories print nine people named Ikeda at five 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: four Ikedas at 1740 Powell in 1940.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for four of the nine: a millworker (2), a laborer and a salesman.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland (2), Strathcona (2) and Kitsilano. 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 C Ikeda at 203 Powell Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Tadatoshi Ikeda there, a millworker. In 1940 the directory lists C Ikeda, a barber, at 360 Powell Street.

F K Ikeda is listed at 1740 Powell 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 Fred K Ikeda there as the householder, a salesman, with Edith Ikeda, Joyce Ikeda and Nete Ikeda. M Ikeda is listed at 2034 Triumph Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Masao Ikeda there as the householder, a millworker at Sterling Lumber.

M Ikeda is listed at 1823 West 2nd Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Mitsugu Ikeda there as the householder, a laborer.

Today

1740 Powell (1958) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 203 Powell, 360 Powell, 2034 Triumph and 1823 West 2nd, 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.
