The story, address by address

The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mrs Maynetta Weatherall at 1306 Haro Street, a laundress at Three Girls Hand Laundry. F B Wetherill is listed at 2570 Hemlock Street in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Frank B Wetherill there as the householder, a manager at Link-Belt.

A Weatherall is listed at 1905 West 12th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Alex Weatherall there as the householder, a manager at W L Mackenzie Co. A N Wetherell is listed at 1572 West 65th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists Arthur N Wetherell there as the householder, a salesman.

G M Weatherall is listed at 2102 West 6th Avenue in 1940. The 1940 name section lists George M Weatherall there as the householder, a steward at Canadian Legion Naval Vets, with George R Weatherall, a bell boy at the Devonshire Hotel.

Today

2570 Hemlock still has its building from before 1946, dated 1925 by the City's record; 1306 Haro (1965) has a newer building, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1905 West 12th, 1572 West 65th and 2102 West 6th, 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.
