Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages; one name can be many families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. More family names under R. Want a name removed?
