The Le Clairs

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists F X LeClair at 3208 Ash 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Francis X Le Clair there as the householder, a swamper at BC Fir, with J Lawrence Le Clair, a helper at BC Fir, M Anna Le Clair, and Mary J Le Clair, an operator at Original Dress. The 1940 name section lists Eileen Le Clair at 912 Broughton Street, a saleswoman at Woodward's. The 1940 name section lists Dorothy Le Clair at 1156 East 14th Avenue, a presser at R Stevens Tri-Cleaning.

In 1940 the directory lists J N Le Clair at 3900 Quebec Street. The 1940 name section lists Joseph N Le Clair there as the householder, a millworker. In 1940 the directory lists A L Le Clair at 4474 Rupert Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Adelard L Le Clair there as the householder, a fireman at the City of Vancouver, with Joseph N Le Clair, and Lorraine E Le Clair, a dancer.

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs F Leclair at 2245 Trafalgar Street. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Flora Le Clair there as the householder, with Angus E Le Clair, a conductor at the BC Electric Railway, Annie L Le Clair, a saleswoman at Kresges, and John J Le Clair, a waiter.

Today

3208 Ash, 3900 Quebec and 2245 Trafalgar still have their buildings from before 1946; 1156 East 14th (2014) and 4474 Rupert (1978) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 912 Broughton and 1487 West 15th, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).
