In the city directories 1940 · five people at four addresses

The directories print five people named Lamond at four addresses in 1940 in four of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spelling Lammond. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family.

Where the Lamonds 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).

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Downtown, Kerrisdale, Sunset and West End. 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 A G Lamond at 81 East 57th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Alex G Lamond there as the householder, a school janitor at the City of Vancouver. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs E Lammond at 951 Nicola Street; 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 Emma Lammond there as the householder, widow of D.

In 1940 the directory lists J M Lamond at 715 Robson Street. The 1940 name section lists John M Lamond there as the householder, of Harrison & Lamond, with Margaret Lamond, widow of K L. In 1940 the directory lists R Lamond at 5862 Vine Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Robert Lamond there as the householder, a salesman at Ray's Ltd.

Today

951 Nicola still has its building from before 1946, dated 1903 by the City's record; 81 East 57th (1984) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 715 Robson and 5862 Vine, 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 L. Want a name removed? Tell us.
