Title: 1955 Regina Directories
Post by: chel13 on Tuesday 09 February 10 11:04 GMT (UK)

Hi

I have found my gt uncle in 1955, but I am still not sure if this is his address behind his name or not, I have not used a directory before, and hope someone can help, the entry reads:

Scott David J R (Dorothy) emp Consumers Co-op refy h 2137 Queen.

I am trying to find out how long he had been in Regina, and where he lived.

Thanks
Ann

Ann, several of my relatives in Ontario had "h" and it referred to their home addresses.

Hi Ann,

I believe the address on Queen Street would be his home address....it's a residential area of Regina.

There is a bit of the history of the Consumer Cooperative refinery which was/is situated in the north end of Regina on this website.

Hi Lisa and Susan,

Thank you both for your help, I thought the address might be his employers, he must have had a career change as he had been a farm worker for many years, I will have a look at the co-op refinery history, and might get some more clues.

Thanks again
Ann
