Vancouver / Names / M / Marshall / John Street

A family name on John Street, Riley Park

The Marshalls

In the city directories 1940 · five people at two addresses

The directories print five people named Marshall at two addresses in 1940, all on John Street. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Marshalls at 4581 John in 1940. The directories print the name on 102 other streets too, all listed on the Marshall name's own page.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists J Marshall at 4581 John Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists James Marshall there as the householder, a carpenter, with Alan Marshall, Annette Marshall, a candy maker, and William Marshall, a carpenter for R D Helmer. In 1940 the directory lists R P Marshall at 4596 John 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 Reginald P Marshall there as the householder, an engineer.

Today

4581 John and 4596 John still have their buildings from before 1946.

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.
