The Moores

In the city directories 1940 · eight people at six addresses

The directories print eight people named Moore at six addresses in 1940, all on West 10th Avenue, with the close spelling More. 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 142 other streets too, all listed on the Moore name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Andrew T Moore at 196 West 10th Avenue. E L Moore is listed at 314 West 10th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Edward L Moore there as the householder, a draftsman, with Allan D Moore, a salesman at Woodward's. The 1940 name section lists Florence Moore at 875 West 10th Avenue, a counter at National Lunch.

In 1940 the directory lists J W Moore at 2505 West 10th 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 lists James W Moore there as the householder, a chief inspector at the Canadian Freight Association. In 1940 the directory lists C W Moore at 2638 West 10th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Culloden W Moore there as the householder, a broker.

Today

196 West 10th, 2505 West 10th, 2638 West 10th and 3878 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946, 2638 West 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 314 West 10th and 875 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.
