In the city directories 1940 · twelve people at nine addresses

The directories print twelve people named Ingham at nine addresses in 1940 in eight 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 Inghams at 4450 West 7th in 1940.

Today

3545 Marshall, 4450 West 7th and 921 West Pender still have their buildings from before 1946; 252 East 22nd (2002), 4504 Welwyn (2005) and 3195 West 11th (2015) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1055 Barclay, 2714 Franklin and 5669 Yew, 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.
