A family name on West 11th Avenue, Fairview, Mount Pleasant, Kitsilano and West Point Grey

The McLeods

In the city directories 1940 · nine people at five addresses

The directories print nine people named McLeod at five addresses in 1940, all on West 11th 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 most under one roof: three McLeods at 3436 West 11th in 1940. The directories print the name on 158 other streets too, all listed on the McLeod name's own page.

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.
