Where the Mariachers 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).

What they did

The name section prints a trade for two of the three: a laborer and an office manager.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Fairview, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Strathcona. 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 R V Mariacher at 1823 East 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Rudolph V Mariacher there as the householder, who worked for Neon Products. The 1940 name section lists Valdemar Marcher at 938 East Cordova Street, a laborer. The 1940 name section lists Louis H Mariacher at 1100 West 7th Avenue, an office manager at R A Wyllie & Son.

Today

1100 West 7th (1986) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1823 East 10th and 938 East Cordova, 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 M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
