The Wards
In the city directories 1940 · four people at two addresses
The directories print four people named Ward at two addresses in 1940, all on West 10th Avenue. No first name or initials tie one address to the other: we can't tell if they're one family. The directories print the name on 75 other streets too, all listed on the Ward name's own page.

The story, address by address
In 1940 the directory lists Rev A W Ward at 166 West 10th 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, where each person's work is printed, lists Rev Albert W Ward there as the householder, a pastor at the Jackson Avenue Baptist Church, with Elizabeth Ward, a student. In 1940 the directory lists Miss E H Ward at 1086 West 10th Avenue. The 1940 name section lists Edna H Ward there as the householder, a stockkeeper for O B Allan.
Today
166 West 10th and 1086 West 10th still have their buildings from before 1946, 166 West 10th on the Vancouver Heritage Register.

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.
