The Stewarts

In the city directories 1940 · four people at three addresses

The directories print four people named Stewart at three addresses in 1940, all on East Broadway. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 178 other streets too, all listed on the Stewart name's own page.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Mount Pleasant (2) and Kensington-Cedar Cottage. 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

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists George Stewart at 601 East Broadway, a waiter. Mrs A E Stewart is listed at 841 East Broadway in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Mrs Alice E Stewart there as the householder.

G N Stewart is listed at 1533 East Broadway in 1940; 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 lists George N Stewart there as the householder, an engineer, with Burnyce Z Stewart.

Today

601 East Broadway (1985) and 1533 East Broadway (1965) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 841 East Broadway, so that building is 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.
