Vancouver / Names / M / Mundie

A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Mundies

In the city directories 1940 · six people at four addresses

The directories print six people named Mundie at four addresses in 1940 in four of the city's neighbourhoods. 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 Mundies at 2070 Grant in 1940.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for four of the six: a school teacher (2), a police officer and a salesman. Three of them worked for Vancouver City.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland, Marpole, Shaughnessy 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 Mundie at 2070 Grant Street; 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 Alex Mundie there as the householder, retired, with John A Mundie, a school teacher, and Margaret Mundie, a school teacher. In 1940 the directory lists J I Mundie at 8070 Hudson Street. The 1940 name section lists James I Mundie there as the householder, a police officer at the City of Vancouver.

In 1940 the directory lists G A Mundie at 4663 West 9th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists George A Mundie there as the householder, retired. The 1940 name section lists William H Mundie at 1004 Wolfe Avenue as the householder, a salesman.

Today

8070 Hudson (1987), 4663 West 9th (1973) and 1004 Wolfe (1973) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 2070 Grant, so that building is probably gone (inferred).

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.
