What they did

The name section prints a trade for all four: a carpenter, a housekeeper, a laborer and a nurse.

Their neighbourhoods

The addresses are in Grandview-Woodland, Hastings-Sunrise 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

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Florence A Thierry at 1142 Alberni Street, a nurse for Miss A G Mackay. The 1940 name section lists Alice M Thiery at 2205 Charles Street, a housekeeper for C H Logan. In 1940 the directory lists T Thiery at 3102 East 3rd 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 lists Theophile Thiery there as the householder, a carpenter, with Phil H Thiery, a laborer.

Today

2205 Charles and 3102 East 3rd still have their buildings from before 1946; the City no longer lists 1142 Alberni, 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.
