Vancouver / Names / S / Stewart / Mannering Avenue

A family name on Mannering Avenue, Kensington-Cedar Cottage

The Stewarts

In the city directories 1940 · five people at two addresses

The directories print five people named Stewart at two addresses in 1940, all on Mannering Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Stewarts at 2169 Mannering 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 W L Stewart at 2169 Mannering Avenue; 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 William L Stewart there as the householder, a brickman at Pioneer Equipment, with John W Stewart, a student, Margaret R Stewart, and Roberta M Stewart, a stenographer for H Smilie. In 1940 the directory lists E J Stewart at 2239 Mannering Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists E James Stewart there as the householder, of Coast Transfer.

Today

2169 Mannering still has its building from before 1946, dated 1912 by the City's record; 2239 Mannering (1985) has a newer building, by the City's record.

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.
