Sitting down with Might's 1943 Kingston City Directory today and opened up a sample (Scottish surnames!) of the 216 pages of the alphabetical list of names (of adults). This listing comprised name, employer, occupation, home address and telephone number, if available.
What struck me was the democratic demographic : vice-presidents to labourers from a variety of downtown neighbourhoods, all listed together. I've included the names below of those 21 residents on these two pages who worked in the waterfront industries.
- McCorquodale, Dugald Kingston Shipbldg foreman, 16 Market
