A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Manderses

In the city directories 1940 · six people at four addresses

The directories print six people named Manders at four addresses in 1940 in two of the city's neighbourhoods. 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 Manderses at 3662 McGill in 1940.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise (2) and Marpole (2). 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 M Manders at 7719 Birch 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 Michael Manders there, a shoe repairer.

In May 1921 T D Manders took out the permit to build a house at 3038 Charles Street. In 1940 the directory lists T D Manders at 3038 Charles Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Thomas D Manders there as the householder, a timekeeper. In 1940 the directory lists M Manders, a shoe repairer, at 8871 Hudson Street.

E D Manders is listed at 3662 McGill Street in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Ernest D Manders there as the householder, a postman, with Ernest C Manders, a student at UBC, and Evelyn N Manders, a stenographer at the Liquor Control Board.

Today

7719 Birch (1989) and 3038 Charles (1964) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 8871 Hudson and 3662 McGill, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
