A family name on East 10th Avenue, Mount Pleasant, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Renfrew-Collingwood
The Joneses
In the city directories 1940 · four people at two addresses
The directories print four people named Jones at two addresses in 1940, all on East 10th Avenue, with the close spelling Joness. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: three Joneses at 2192 East 10th 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
In 1940 the directory lists H Jones at 170 East 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Harry Jones there as the householder, a longshoreman. In 1940 the directory lists C F Jones at 2192 East 10th 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 lists Charles F Jones there as the householder, an engineer, with Charles M Jones, a laborer at BC Marine, and Clifton W Jones, a machinist.
Today
2192 East 10th (1990) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 170 East 10th, so that building is 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.
