A family name on Pendrell Street, West End
The Walshes
In the city directories 1940 · three people at three addresses
The directories print three people named Walsh at three addresses in 1940, all on Pendrell Street, with the close spelling Walshe. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 45 other streets too, all listed on the Walsh name's own page.

The story, address by address
The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Ruth Walsh at 1246 Pendrell Street, a saleswoman at Spencer's. The 1940 name section lists Reginald F Walsh at 1925 Pendrell Street, a benchman for Sigurdson Millwork. In 1940 the directory lists Mrs A M Walsh at 2090 Pendrell Street. The 1940 name section lists Ada M Walsh there as the householder, widow of C.
Today
The City no longer lists 1246 Pendrell, 1925 Pendrell and 2090 Pendrell, 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 W. Want a name removed? Tell us.
