The Stewarts

In the city directories 1940 · 13 people at eight addresses

The directories print 13 people named Stewart at eight addresses in 1940, all on West 6th 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 3028 West 6th 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 F W Stewart, a trucking, at 695 West 6th Avenue. W J Stewart is listed at 1956 West 6th Avenue 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, where each person's work is printed, lists William J Stewart there as the householder, retired, with Anne D Stewart, a stenographer for Ceperley Rounsefell.

C Stewart is listed at 2596 West 6th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Charles Stewart there as the householder, retired. M Stewart is listed at 2834 West 6th Avenue in 1940; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Malcolm Stewart there as the householder, a stableman at Guernsey Breeders' Dairy.

The 1940 name section lists Frederick Stewart at 2958 West 6th Avenue, a mechanic at the Jericho Service Station. In 1940 the directory lists C G Stewart at 3028 West 6th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Colin G Stewart there as the householder, a laborer at Canadian John Wood, with D W Grant Stewart, a clerk at the Royal Bank, and Marge Stewart, an operator at the BC Telephone.

In 1940 the directory lists W S Stewart at 3164 West 6th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Walter S Stewart there as the householder, a ticket agent at the CPR, with Charles W Stewart, a stenographer at the CPR, and Doug H Stewart, a clerk. In 1940 the directory lists A Stewart at 3642 West 6th Avenue; the 1940 line is marked * too. The 1940 name section lists Alex Stewart there as the householder, a master mariner.

Today

2596 West 6th, 2834 West 6th, 3164 West 6th and 3642 West 6th still have their buildings from before 1946, 3164 West 6th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; the City no longer lists 695 West 6th, 1956 West 6th, 2958 West 6th and 3028 West 6th, 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.
