The Pearts

In the city directories 1940 · four people at four addresses

The directories print four people named Peart 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 story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Dorothy Peart at 1387 East 35th Avenue, with Dorothy Peart. A J Peart is listed at 3660 East Hastings Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Alfred J Peart there as the householder, a millworker, with Alfred J Peart, a millworker.

Today

1387 East 35th (1953) and 3660 East Hastings (1987) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 741 Homer and 1901 Pendrell, 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 P. Want a name removed? Tell us.
