A family name on Barclay Street, West End
The Joneses
In the city directories 1940 · five people at three addresses
The directories print five people named Jones at three addresses in 1940, all on Barclay Street, with the close spelling Joness. 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 Joneses at 1530 Barclay in 1940. The directories print the name on 176 other streets too, all listed on the Jones name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Robert Jones at 1063 Barclay Street, a stock broker. The 1940 name section lists J Herbert Jones at 1275 Barclay Street. In 1940 the directory lists S M Jones at 1530 Barclay Street. The 1940 name section lists Syd M Jones there as the householder, a president at International Battery, with Sid M Jones, Charles E Jones and Ken M Jones.
Today
The City no longer lists 1063 Barclay, 1275 Barclay and 1530 Barclay, 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 J. Want a name removed? Tell us.
