What they did

The name section prints a trade for five of the seven: a coffee roaster, an engineer, a janitor, a meter reader and a nurse. One is a widow, listed under her own name.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Fairview (3) and Kitsilano (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

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Miss P M Marshall at 636 West 10th Avenue, a nurse at the Vancouver General Hospital. Mrs F E Marshall is listed at 1616 West 10th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Florence E Marshall there as the householder, widow of C C, with Thomas C Marshall, a meter reader at the BC Electric Railway.

H W Marshall is listed at 1625 West 10th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Harcourt W Marshall there as the householder, a janitor at Oddfellows Hall. The 1940 name section lists George H Marshall at 2247 West 10th Avenue, an engineer for Sigurdson Millwork, with Robert E Marshall, a coffee roaster at Braid's Ltd.

In 1940 the directory lists P Marshall at 3601 West 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists P Marshall there as the householder.

Today

1616 West 10th and 3601 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 636 West 10th, 1625 West 10th and 2247 West 10th, 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.
