In the city directories 1940 · five people at four addresses

Where the Jures 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).

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs J Jure at 1240 East 12th 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 Jessie Jure there as the householder, widow of J G, with Hector G Jure, a millwright at Mohawk Lumber. In 1940 the directory lists H M Jure at 2324 East 4th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Henry M Jure there as the householder, a lineman at the BC Electric Railway.

In 1940 the directory lists W Jure at 3595 Price Street. The 1940 name section lists Walter A Jure there as the householder, a driver at Crystal Dairy. The 1940 name section lists Harold Jure at 16 West 3rd Avenue, a driver at National Transfer.

Today

1240 East 12th, 2324 East 4th and 3595 Price still have their buildings from before 1946; 16 West 3rd (1987) has a newer building, by the City's record.

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.
