The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists J Mauro at 53 East 6th Avenue; 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 Joseph Mauro there as the householder, retired, with Antonio Mauro, in mailing at the Sun, Nell Mauro, a ward assistant at the Vancouver General Hospital, Nicholas Mauro, a laborer, Pete Mauro, a laborer, and Victor Mauro, a millworker at BC Plywoods.

Today

53 East 6th (1969) has a newer building, by the City's record.

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.
