A family name on East Georgia Street, Strathcona, Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise

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 Georgia Street. 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 1846 East Georgia in 1940. The directories print the name on 178 other streets too, all listed on the Stewart name's own page.

The addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise (2) and Grandview-Woodland. 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 C M Stewart at 1846 East Georgia Street; 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Charles M Stewart there as the householder, a draftsman, with Janet W Stewart, a waitress at Harbour Coffee Shop, and Margaret R Stewart, a waitress at Woodward's. In 1940 the directory lists S Stewart at 2854 East Georgia Street; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Sam Stewart there as the householder, a moulder at the Canadian Sumner Iron Works.

The 1940 name section lists John Stewart at 2861 East Georgia Street, a moulder at the Canadian Sumner Iron Works.

Today

2854 East Georgia (1998) and 2861 East Georgia (1988) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1846 East Georgia, 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.
