A family name in Vancouver's city directories

The Therriaults

In the city directories 1940 · three people at two addresses

The directories print three people named Therriault at two addresses in 1940 in two of the city's neighbourhoods. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family.

What they did

The name section prints a trade for one of the three: a cashier.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Downtown and West End. 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 Miss E C Therriault at 1915 Haro Street. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Emmaline C Therriault there as the householder, a cashier at the Vancouver Hotel. The 1940 name section lists Mabel M Therriault at 1232 West Pender Street.

Today

1915 Haro still has its building from before 1946, dated 1931 by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1232 West Pender, 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 T. Want a name removed? Tell us.
