The directories print eleven people named McLeod at ten addresses in 1940, all on West 10th Avenue, with the close spellings MacLeod and Macleod. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 158 other streets too, all listed on the McLeod name's own page.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Fairview (7), Kitsilano (2) and West Point Grey. 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 A E McLeod at 665 West 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Albert E McLeod there as the householder, an engineer at Canadian Bakeries. The 1940 name section lists Isabel MacLeod at 1066 West 10th Avenue.

J B McLeod is listed at 1224 West 10th Avenue in 1940; 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 John B McLeod there as the householder, who ran a restaurant. The 1940 name section lists Bette C McLeod at 1234 West 10th Avenue, a physician instructor at the BC Government.

In 1940 the directory lists Mrs M McLeod at 1298 West 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Margaret McLeod there as the householder, with Marlyn D McLeod, a bookkeeper. The 1940 name section lists Clara M McLeod at 1484 West 10th Avenue.

J McLeod is listed at 1625 West 10th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists John McLeod there as the householder, proprietor of Honestway Groceteria. F McLeod is listed at 2738 West 10th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Frederick McLeod there as the householder, a printer.

O A McLeod is listed at 3550 West 10th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. In 1940 the directory lists A McLeod, a cabinetmaker, at 4436 West 10th Avenue.

Today

1298 West 10th still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; 2738 West 10th (2015) and 3550 West 10th (2008) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 665 West 10th, 1066 West 10th, 1224 West 10th, 1234 West 10th, 1484 West 10th, 1625 West 10th and 4436 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.
