The Nuttalls

In the city directories 1940 · four people at four addresses

The directories print four people named Nuttall at four addresses in 1940 in three of the city's neighbourhoods. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for three of the four: a carpenter, a dispenser and a helper.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Kitsilano (2), Fairview and West End. 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 R Nuttall at 1988 Creelman Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Robert Nuttall there as the householder, a helper at Canadian Linen. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs D M Nuttall at 934 Nicola Street. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Dolly-May Nuttall there as the householder.

In 1940 the directory lists R Nuttall at 1154 West 12th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Rolson Nuttall there as the householder, a carpenter. The 1940 name section lists Clarence Nuttall at 2116 West 3rd Avenue, a dispenser at Storey's Specialty Malted Milk Shops.

Today

The City no longer lists 1988 Creelman, 934 Nicola, 1154 West 12th and 2116 West 3rd, 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 N. Want a name removed? Tell us.
