Vancouver / Names / S / Stewart / East 10th Avenue

A family name on East 10th Avenue, Mount Pleasant, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Renfrew-Collingwood

The Stewarts

In the city directories 1940 · five people at three addresses

The directories print five people named Stewart at three addresses in 1940, all on East 10th Avenue. 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 Stewarts at 549 East 10th in 1940. The directories print the name on 178 other streets too, all listed on the Stewart name's own page.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists P J Stewart at 268 East 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists P John Stewart there as the householder, a night officer at the Georgia Hotel. In 1940 the directory lists A Stewart at 549 East 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Alex Stewart there as the householder, a baker, with George D Stewart, a clerk for W H Malkin, and James M Stewart.

In 1940 the directory lists C Stewart at 748 East 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Charles Stewart there as the householder, a fisherman.

Today

268 East 10th (1949) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 549 East 10th and 748 East 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 S. Want a name removed? Tell us.
