The Whites

In the city directories 1940 · seven people at five addresses

The directories print seven people named White at five addresses in 1940, all on Haro Street, with the close spelling Whaite. 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 148 other streets too, all listed on the White name's own page.

The story, address by address

In 1940 the directory lists F R White at 1070 Haro Street. By 1940 it is Mrs F E White. The 1940 name section, where each person's work is printed, lists Mrs Florence E White there as the householder, a clerk, with Frederick R White, retired. The 1940 name section lists Garfield W White at 1168 Haro Street, a clerk at the CPR, with Gladys L White, a clerk for Kelly Douglas.

The 1940 name section lists Frederick White at 1176 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Sid White at 1348 Haro Street, a student. In 1940 the directory lists L G White at 1945 Haro Street. The 1940 name section lists Leonard G White there as the householder, a secretary-treasurer at Jermaine's Ltd.

Today

The City no longer lists 1070 Haro, 1168 Haro, 1176 Haro, 1348 Haro and 1945 Haro, 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.
