Vancouver / Names / T / Taylor / Haro Street

A family name on Haro Street, West End

The Taylors

In the city directories 1940 · eight people at five addresses

The directories print eight people named Taylor at five addresses in 1940, all on Haro Street, with the close spelling Tylor. 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 Taylors at 1665 Haro in 1940. The directories print the name on 214 other streets too, all listed on the Taylor name's own page.

The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mrs Helen Taylor at 1153 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Theo Taylor at 1165 Haro Street. In 1940 the directory lists Miss E G Taylor, rooms to let, at 1665 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Edna G Taylor there, who kept rooms to let, with Eliza S Taylor.

In 1940 the directory lists G H Taylor at 1935 Haro Street.

Today

1935 Haro (1989) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1153 Haro, 1165 Haro, 1665 Haro and 2080 Haro, 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 T. Want a name removed? Tell us.
